BUTTERFLI LILY
(INDOOR ALSTROEMERIA)
|
Following years of hybridizing and breeding, this South American native has been
dwarfed such that we can make it available as a beautifully flowering potted
plant. It is named Butterfli Lily because of its butterfly-like flowers. You'll
be impressed with its color range...from violet, lilac and mauve to pink, cerise
and red. Once spent, it can be an exciting garden plant in mild winter climates.
