Peruvian lilies, Alstroemeria, are among the most showy of perennials, with their spectacular large, brightly streaked flowers.
Alstroemeria 'Prima Donna' is a delightful Peruvian lily, bearing frilled pink flowers with a pale yellow throat, pink streaks and bright yellow anthers. It’s ideal for growing in a mixed ornamental border or as part of a container display, and makes an excellent cut flower.
Grow Alstroemeria 'Prima Donna' in a sheltered spot in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Stake them so they don’t collapse in the wind or rain, and keep picking the flowers for cutting, or deadheading – pull from the root and they will continue to flower for months. Not fully hardy, mulch for the first two winters to protect the rootball.
