(Not currently available to be ordered)
I am Alstroemeria Princess Lilies® Assorted. My family originated from South America
| I am a range of tuberous perennials from South America.
I flower prolifically in all but the coldest months with blooms in a range of bright colours with distinctive dark speckles. My different varieties come in almost every colour imaginable and are trumpet shaped with dark speckles down the throat. Careful breeding has resulted in my more compact form making me a great addition to garden beds, borders and rockeries, combining well with other plants. I make excellent cut flowers to enjoy indoors. Hardy, I tolerate frost, dry conditions and a range of different soils. I become dormant when excessively dry but bounce back quickly when provided with moisture. Avoid water-logged soils. |

What is the Small Spaces™ Collection
No matter how Narrow & Small your modern urban space is, you can create a lush & colourful garden or courtyard.
Combine the habits of Upright, Mounding & Trailing for easy colourful arrangements in pots, containers or garden beds.
Available in 140mm, 180mm and 200mm pots
Upright - Mounding - Trailing
A simple recipe to create professional-looking plants and garden designs
By having the plants divided in the three types, Upright, Mounding or Trailing, we remove the intimidation factor to create your own gardening designs.
Upright plants
Also called thrillers, are the big, bold focal point, the centerpiece plant for your design. This plant provides an eye-catching vertical element.
You first select your Upright plant, which usually will be the tallest plants, and the starting point of your design.
Then, when is time to plant, the Upright plant goes in the center if your pot that will be viewed from all sides.
You planted in the back of a pot, or the back of a garden bed, depending on your focal point.
A great upright choice is tall ornamental grasses such as purple fountain grass or liriopes. You can find them under our Mighty Tuff® collection. Or you can use anigozanthos from our Nature's Nectar®.
Small Spaces offers a collection of flowering plants ideal to use as thrillers, such are Cannas, Alstroemerias, Mandevilleas or you can even use some dwarf pittosporums
Mounding plants
Also called fillers, are mid-size, mounding, or rounded plants that surround and complement but not overwhelm the upright plant and fill the space in the planter or garden. You can use one filler or opt for two or three different plants in your container or garden design. Pick colours that complement your Upright Plant, or different textures, like a round-leaved mounding plant with a spiky Upright plant.
Often, they help by hiding the bare knees, the less interesting stems or stalks of the Upright plants
The difficult part is selecting the plant from so many choices, but a few suggestions include: cupheas, salvias, scaevolas, pelargoniums, etc.
Trailing plants
Also called spillers, are splashy plants that cascade and tumble over the sides of containers or cascaiding down a wall .
Even though the main rule of this plants is to sprawl over the side of the pots, sometimes it's fun to unify a composition by training a few tendrils of a Trailing plant to climb into and through both the Mounding and Upright plants.
You can use some of this varieties as Trailing plants: ajugas, campanulas, lotus Red Flash, lobelias, Veronica Oxford Blue, etc.
