‘Casablanca’ Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria ‘Casablanca’): Near-White Blooms for Cutting and Borders

‘Casablanca’ Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria ‘Casablanca’) is the closest to white this genus has achieved. Its amaryllis-shaped flowers reveal reddish dashes on a yellow wash with a pale pink throat. Taller than most alstroemerias, it makes superb cut flowers and adds a tropical flair to beds and borders.

Planting & Care

• Plant tubers: 8 inches deep in late summer or early autumn.
• Soil: Moist but well-drained.
• Light: Full sun or partial shade; protect from intense sun and extreme winters.
• Mulch: First two years; in marginal zones, use dry winter mulch.

Propagation & Problems

Sow seed in cold frame when ripe; plant out whole pot to avoid tuber damage. Divide established clumps in fall or early spring. Watch for gray mold, viruses, spider mites, slugs.
