Alstroemeria Colorita ‘Kate’

Rich red velvet flowers with gold splashed petals in the throat accented with black streaks. Compact, extra bushy and well branched resulting in wonderful performance in the garden or container. No staking needed. Enjoys rich composty soil in part sun. As with all Alstroemerias… deadhead by gently pulling, rather than cutting at the base to encourage more flower stem production. Blooms late spring through fall. Deer tend to leave it alone while hummers find it irresistible. Ht.16” x 12” Hardy perennial zones 8-10
