Alstroemeria 'Flame' (Red Peruvian Lily) - Perennial plant. A small selection of Alstroemeria that grows to 12 to 18 inches tall with rhizomes that spread slowly outward. From late spring through fall it displays its red flowers that have a yellow throat with brown speckles.
Plant in full to part sun. Can tolerate dry conditions but looks best with regular irrigation. Hardy to 15-20 degrees F.
This plant was one we named and grew from 2003 through 2008. It was a vegetative sport of a cultivar called Inca Spice that was also called 'Amazon' or 'Yellow Amazon' and was introduced in 1998 as part of the Könst Inca Collection. We grew this plant from 2003 until 2008.
This information about Alstroemeria 'Flame' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
