Alstroemeria | White Buttons Chrysanthemum As an example pruning beforeThis lovely alstroemeria is also known as a Princess Lily or Peruvian Lily and has striking off white flowers with a hint of lemon in the throat with darker coloured whiskers. A perfect choice for a pot or in the garden. Plant in either full sun or semi shade in moist but well drained soil, we find some gravel mixed in with the soil at planting helps drainage. White Buttons has a long flowering period and will flower for you through spring and autumn.
