7 Yellow-flowered Alstroemeria
Flamboyant and exotic
Contents
Deciduous perennial with an exotic temperament, the Alstroemeria or Inca Lily offers original and highly coloured flowers throughout the summer and into early autumn. To succeed with it, you need to find the right location, either in full sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil that remains cool in summer. Its hardiness varies, so feel free to plant it in pots as well; it is easy to grow and will brighten your terraces or balconies for many months.
Yellow Alstroemerias are adorned with flowers that are sometimes soft, sometimes spicy, depending on their shades of yellow and the patterns of the petals. Several series of cultivars, varying in size, are renowned for their hardiness and floribundity. Discover yellow-flowered Alstroemerias, in pastel or warm tones, whether solid or multicoloured.

Its size and average hardiness make it a good candidate for pot cultivation, to be placed on a terrace or balcony. Pair it with pots filled with other Inca Lilies from the ‘Duchesses d’Anjou’ series or tangy perennials like Lady’s Mantle.
