Pinkish-purple flowers, which are heavily flecked with chocolate coloured markings on their creamy-white inner petals, and lightly dappled on the outer tepals, look magnificent when planted with rich plums, purples and soft lilacs. - Garden care: Newly planted Alstroemerias should be given a very generous 20cm (8") deep mulch of chipped bark in their first winter to help the plants become established. In subsequent autumns, provide a dry mulch of bracken or bark chippings will help protect the crowns. After flowering cut back the faded flower-stems, but make sure you always wear gloves when working with Peruvian lilies, as contact with the foliage may cause skin irritation.
