{"product_id":"summer-heat-peruvian-lily-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Summer Heat Peruvian Lily - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eSummer Heat is a large-flowered red Peruvian lily with tall stems and a long season of bloom. Each rich red flower has a bold yellow flare in the center, giving it a bright, tropical look from midsummer on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tall, sturdy stems and uniform flowers are florist quality and last a long time after cutting. It has overwintered for several seasons in zone 6 and does best in well-drained soil with winter protection. Use it as a focal point in a sunny border or a large patio container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClusters of large, lily-like, flared flowers about 3 inches across at the tops of tall, upright leafy stems; petals are rich scarlet red, with a prominent golden yellow flare on the upper petals marked with fine dark streaks. Leaves are narrow, lance-shaped, medium green and twisted at the base. The plant is upright, 36 to 42 inches tall and 30 to 36 inches wide. At peak bloom red flower clusters crown dozens of tall stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeruvian lily prefers richer, more evenly moist soil than lavender, so give it its own sunny bed or a large container near the patio, where its long-lasting flowers are easy to cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil with even moisture; set the rhizomes about 1 inch deep. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9; in zone 5 and colder, give a thick winter mulch or grow in containers moved to a protected spot. For cutting, pull stems from the base rather than cutting, which encourages more flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alstroemeria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scarlet red with a yellow flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tall, upright clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36–42 in tall × 30–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
