Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily)

Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian Lily, is a long blooming perennial that fills the garden with bright, cheerful color from early summer into fall. Each stem carries multiple trumpet shaped flowers in shades of pink, yellow, orange, red, purple, or white, often marked with soft freckles. The blooms last a long time, both in the garden and in a vase, making this one of the best cut flowers you can grow. These plants thrive in sunny or lightly shaded spots with well drained soil. They form tidy clumps that grow fuller every year and send up wave after wave of fresh blooms. Perfect for borders, cottage style gardens, and cutting gardens, Alstroemeria is a reliable way to keep your outdoor space full of color for months.
