Description
"Katiana," a mesmerising cultivar of Alstroemeria, captivates with its deep red, lily-like flowers complemented by striking variegated foliage. This perennial herbaceous plant offers a dense growth habit, bringing bold colour and intricate leaf patterns to gardens and homes. Not only are its vibrant blooms a garden highlight, but they also serve as long-lasting cut flowers, enduring for weeks in a vase.
Equally suited for pots and in-ground planting, "Katiana" flourishes in full sun to part shade and prefers well-draining soil. During the warmer months, consistent watering keeps it at its best, tapering off as the weather cools. For those planting in sandy terrains, enriching the soil with organic matter will enhance its fertility. Come early spring, a dose of slow-release balanced fertiliser sets the stage for a season filled with rich, red blossoms.
