Alstroemeria Valley Girl - Peruvian lily

Alstroemeria 'Valley Girl' is a variety of Peruvian Lily from the 'Summer Paradise Valley' series, distinguished by its warm-coloured flowers combining orange and yellow. This rather compact plant maintains a neat appearance throughout the season and flowers continuously for several months. Although a perennial, it is somewhat frost-sensitive and can easily be grown as an annual. It will beautifully adorn flower beds or patios.

Alstroemeria 'Valley Girl' is a recent Dutch variety. The Summer Paradise^® Valley^® series, developed in the Netherlands by HilverdaFlorist, comprises compact Peruvian Lily varieties selected for their abundant and prolonged flowering, from May until the first frosts. Designed for cultivation in the ground or in pots, these plants combine a compact habit, great resilience, and hardiness down to -10°C. They produce vibrant-coloured flowers, perfect for beds, borders, and creating long-lasting bouquets.

Alstroemeria 'Valley Girl' forms clumps of sturdy leafy stems, reaching about 40-50 cm in height when in flower, within a few months. The wide-open flowers are gathered in small clusters at the stem tips. They consist of 3 small central petals, pale yellow with brown streaks, surrounded by 3 broader petals in a coral-pink orange hue. The foliage is clustered towards the upper part of the stems. The leaves of this variety are a bright green. Both foliage and stems die back in winter, leaving only the underground fleshy-rooted running tuber. This tuber is sensitive to transplant shock, especially in older plants, so it is best not to move it once established.

Alstroemeria 'Valley Girl' is an excellent bedding plant. This perennial provides a radiant display in borders and also thrives in patio pots. It pairs beautifully with purple perennial sages like 'Caradonna' or white ones like 'Schneehügel'. You can also combine it with yellow or orange-flowered bushy sages, and of course with other varieties from the Summer Paradise series like 'Times Valley'. It also makes bright, cheerful bouquets.
