Tough, long-lived, and fabulously floriferous, Alstroemeria ‘Tricolor’ is one of those Peruvian lily varieties that makes gardeners understand the obsession. From late spring into fall in mild climates, it produces an endless supply of extra-large blooms, each one delectably striped and spotted in pink, white, cherry, and gold.

This taller-stemmed alstroemeria brings far more garden presence than the compact modern types, reaching about 3' tall and spreading 3–4' wide by rhizomes to form a dense, generous patch. The long-lasting flowers are excellent for cutting, making ‘Tricolor’ a superb choice for cut flower gardens, perennial borders, cottage plantings, and large containers.

Plant Alstroemeria ‘Tricolor’ in full sun to light shade with compost-rich, well-drained soil for the most audacious bloom show. Deciduous and easy to grow, it does not self-sow, but it will return with dependable color and bouquet-worthy stems year after year.
