Description
Alstroemeria 'Claire', commonly known as Peruvian Lily or Princess Lily, is a hybrid cultivar that originates from South America, specifically Brazil, Chile, and Peru. Known for its compact and elegant form, this evergreen perennial reaches a height and width of 30-60 cm, making it suitable for borders, containers, or cottage-style gardens. Thriving in Perth's climate, 'Claire' grows best in full sun to semi-shade, preferring well-drained soil. Moderate watering is required initially, and it becomes water-wise once established.
From Early Spring (Djilba) through Late Autumn (Djeran), 'Claire' blooms with delicate white flowers accented by a creamy throat, adding a soft and sophisticated touch to garden spaces. This Alstroemeria's extended flowering season and low-maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for gardeners seeking reliable, long-lasting colour. Its graceful blooms add beauty and charm to any outdoor or container planting.
