| History | Colorita® is an introduction from the plant breeding programs of Royal Van Zanten in the Netherlands. The series features large buds that unfold into brightly colored flowers with bold markings. These exceptional bloomers perform all summer long in most regions. This hybrid Alstroemeria is the result of a cross-pollination, as part of a controlled breeding program in Rijsenhout, The Netherlands. |
