Also known as the Peruvian Lily, not only do Alstromeria blooms look beautiful on the plant, but they also boast an incredible vase life. Inca Batavia Purple produces a rich amethyst flower.
In our area, full morning sun and afternoon shade is preferred over the hottest parts of the summer, however once established these can tolerate full sun, if needed. Water deeply about once a week.
Alstromeria is a perennial. It will die back in the winter, but the rhizomes underground will be just fine and they'll come back every spring.
As mentioned, Alstromeria makes a great cut flower, lasting up to two weeks in water with proper care.
To keep your little Peruvian lilies looking their best you can make a special water solution to prolong their life. Simply mix in half a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a just a few drops of bleach in four cups of room temperature water. Cut flowers naturally start to seal their ends every few days, snipping the flower stems will reopen any sealed off parts and will allow your cut flower to access water freely again.
We sell our mixed Alstromeria in one gallon containers.
