Hardy, Alstroemeria 'Mauve Majesty' (Peruvian Lily) is a tuberous perennial with lance-shaped, dark green leaves and a profusion of long-lasting, large, funnel-shaped, bright mauve pink flowers, adorned with a creamy yellow throat and burgundy streaks. Blooming from midsummer to early fall, this Peruvian Lily constitutes an excellent border plant, providing striking color and contrast to the perennial border and mixes beautifully with annuals and other summer flowering bulbs. It is well suited to containers, to small gardens lacking space, and to the cutting garden as it makes excellent fresh cut flowers (2 weeks vase life).
