Alstroemeria Majestic Brézé

Alstroemeria ‘Brézé’ is a Peruvian Lily from the Majestics series, with captivating, delicately pastel flowering. Less flamboyant than the red or orange varieties, it brings a softer, more refined presence to the garden. Its creamy pink flowers, enhanced with soft pink, animate the garden all summer long. This tall variety is suitable for borders and for cut flower arrangements: it flowers for almost 5 months and its stems last several days in a vase.

Alstroemeria 'Brézé' belongs to the Alstroemeriaceae family. It is a horticultural cultivar attributed to Pierre Turc, distributed by the Turcieflor nursery, a French nursery based in Anjou and known for its breeding work on alstroemerias. The Majestics series brings together tall, hardy varieties, suitable for garden cultivation, producing long flowering stems for bouquets from June to October. Their crown will withstand -15 to -20 °C in well-drained soil, protected by a mulch.
'Brézé’ is a perennial with a tuberous root. The plant forms an upright, branched clump reaching 60 to 80 cm in height and 40 to 50 cm in spread. Its foliage is medium green, slightly tinged with blue, and composed of elongated, entire leaves carried on vertical stems. It disappears in winter and re-emerges from the ground in spring. The flowers, gathered in clusters at the top of the stems, measure 4 to 6 cm in diameter. In ‘Brézé’, they have a creamy pink base with cheeks of soft pink and a lighter heart marked with fine purplish-brown streaks on the upper tepals.

In the garden, plant Majestic Brézé in a sunny border or an area dedicated to cut flowers. Its pastel colour easily goes with other plants. It can accompany Agapanthus ‘Twister’, Dahlia ‘Crème de Cassis’, Verbena bonariensis and Miscanthus Yaku-Jima, for its compact growth and beautiful panicles. Cultivation is possible in a large, deep pot. But it develops best in the ground, in rich, well-drained soil that stays moist in summer.
