Alstroemeria FABIANA™ ('Zaprifabi' PP17991)

COLORITA® Princess Lilies

Common Name: Peruvian Lily

Peruvian lilies are some of our favorite flowers due to their long season of bloom, and FABIANA™ has the added attraction of variegated foliage. Creamy white 2” flowers continually cover the plant from early summer to frost. Dark green leaves have streaky, creamy white margins. We have successfully overwintered FABIANA™ for three winters (and counting) in our zone 6a, heavy snow cover Michigan climate. From Royal Van Zanten of the Netherlands. FABIANA™ is a naturally occurring sport of PAOLA™, also from Royal Van Zanten.

Alstromeria prefers to be grown in evenly moist, well-drained, rich humus, but it will tolerate drier soils. Choose a sheltered site in either full sun or partial shade, preferably at the base of a south or west-facing wall. Don't worry if it comes up later in spring than your other perennials. This is normal for Alstroemeria. It grows quickly once it emerges to make up for its late start.

Mulch with organic material in the winter to prevent frost heaving.
