If King Midas has his way, the world would be filled with flowers like Alstroemeria Sara. This beauty stands out with glorious golden-yellow blooms, each embellished with soft touches of blush and mahogany “lashes.” This prolific plant becomes completely engulfed in buds and blossoms for months, making it an excellent focal point in gardens and containers. As with other specially bred Princess Lilies, Sara is compact, floriferous, and long-blooming!

This mound-forming, tuberous perennial is perfect for borders, small gardens and is excellent in containers! Grow her in a partially sunny spot with fertile, evenly moist, well-draining soil, and you won’t be sorry you did! Be careful – dry soil induces dormancy and reduces flowering vigor. Deadhead spent flowers as needed or bring flowers inside to take advantage of their long vase life as cut flowers. In early spring, trim back or gently pull out old tuberous stems to encourage new growth and better flowering.

Are you lucky enough to have A/C? Do you keep your home temperate year-round? These compact Alstroemeria may be the most spectacular houseplant for you! As long as nobody has allergies to pollen, of course.
