Alstroemeria Tangerine Tango PP 22701
Although it sounds more like a cheap breakfast drink from the 1960s, Alstroemeria ‘Tangerine Tango’ is actually the latest from the breeding work of Cornell’s Mark Bridgen, making it the orange-flowered counterpart to Alstroemeria ‘Sweet Laura’. This vigorous grower makes a 3′ wide patch, topped with 30″ tall spikes that end in clusters of narrow-petaled bright orange flowers, highlighted by a yellow blotch and cinnamon flecks. For us, flowering begins in mid-June and continues all summer…a constant treat for hummingbirds.
