An enchanting sight in the summer garden, the Alstroemeria ‘Summer Breeze’ Peruvian Lily grows a profusion of funnel-like flowers with a blend of yellow, peach and orange tones and brown speckles. This is accentuated by its lance-like, green foliage that forms a compact and neat silhouette in the garden.
A hardworking perennial that flowers throughout the summer up to the first frost, it makes a wonderful addition to mixed flower beds and containers. As it is easy and reliable to grow, it also works well in low maintenance spaces such as wildlife gardens or can be used as underplanting around shrubs and roses to hide the woody stems.
In addition to its wonderful ornamental appeal, this perennial is excellent at attracting a wide variety of bees and pollinators into your garden, which has been recognised by its inclusion in the Royal Horticultural Society Plants for Pollinators Collection.
