Alstroemeria Aurea Orange King
M6001
Bring a rush of fiery colour to summer and autumn borders with Alstroemeria ‘Aurea Orange King’.From June until October, this exotic-looking Peruvian lily bears clusters of glowing, funnel-shaped orange flowers with a golden-yellow upper lip and dark speckles.
Invaluable as cut flowers, Alstroemeria ‘Aurea Orange King’ are loved for their tropical looks and exceptional vase-life, often lasting for 2-3 weeks in fresh water. This eye-catching, tangerine-toned alstroemeria proudly holds an Award of Garden Merit, granted by the Royal Horticultural Society as a mark of excellence.
Care Guide
For thriving Alstroemeria, choose a sunny location with well-drained, light soil. Plant rhizomes 10-15 cm deep and 30 cm apart. Maintain consistent moisture, ensuring the soil remains damp. A profusion of multi-headed, vibrant blooms appear between June and October which are long-lasting and excellent for cutting. Top dress in spring and once again during the growing season. Shorter varieties are excellent for container planting.
