Floral Friday : Alstroemeria ‘Indian Summer’

You’ll love the beautifully coloured flowers of Alstroemeria ‘Indian Summer’ set against unique rich, bronze foliage.

These hardy Peruvian Lilies are compact with an upright habit, ensuring that stems are still a good length for cutting.

Making a rounded plant no more than 30in/75cm high, the foliage of ‘Indian Summer’ is dark green stained with smoky bronze. So even before the flowers open the foliage marks its mark.

Then, from June to October, the flowers open in a fiery mix of orange and yellow. The intensity of flowering may vary a little over the months but even when flowering is less intense, there are the red buds.

‘Indian Summer’ makes an excellent specimen in a container.
