Notes
'Ballerina' lily of the incas (Alstroemeria 'Ballerina') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. The rose pink flowers are tipped bronzy green and striped purple, and hummingbirds and butterflies visit them. Deer tend to pass it by. Parigo bred it.
Pairs well with Foxglove, Society garlic, and Jacob’s ladder.
