This Orange Peruvian Lily plant has vibrant, scarlet-orange blooms with a yellow throat, all contrasted by intense brown streaking on the petals. Well known for its long blooming season, cold hardiness and exceptional cut flowers, Alstroemeria MAJESTIC 'Longué' is an excellent choice for any garden. Longué Alstroemeria is a tuberous clumping perennial with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves. It measures from 50 to 90 cm tall, and works well as a container plant or grouped together in garden beds. Prefers full sun, but tolerant of partial shade, Red-Orange Alstroemeria grows best in moist, well-drained soil. Extremely hardy (Zone 5b -26⁰C), the foliage will die back after first frost and leave a mass of tuberous roots under the soil. Excellent for butterfly gardens, it attracts bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. This Orange Inca Lily plant is also an excellent choice for the cut flower garden, as these blooms will last 2 weeks in a vase with regular water changes! Keep the stems trimmed diagonally and remove any leaves / petals from the water to prolong freshness. Consider planting other Alstroemeria hybrids in your garden (Alstroemeria MAJESTIC 'Baugé', Alstroemeria MAJESTIC 'Serrant') to make beautiful, colourful alstroemeria flower arrangements all season long. Longué Alstroemeria is part of the Alstroemeria MAJESTIC series of hybrids, bred in France.
