🌺✨ Alstroemeria – Long-Lasting Beauty with Exotic Flair ✨🌺
In this video, we dive into the stunning world of Alstroemeria, also called the Peruvian Lily — a favourite among florists and gardeners for its vibrant blooms, long vase life, and easy-care nature. A perennial with tropical flair, it’s a showstopper in borders and bouquets alike.
🌿 Alstroemeria Plant Details:
• Botanical name: Alstroemeria spp.
• Common names: Alstroemeria, Peruvian Lily, Lily of the Incas
• Plant type: Herbaceous perennial
• Bloom time: Late spring to autumn (especially with deadheading)
• Light: Full sun to part shade
• Soil: Moist but well-drained, fertile soil
• Height/Spread: 30–90 cm (1–3 ft) tall
• Zones: USDA 6–10 (varies by variety)
• Maintenance: Moderate; mulch in cold zones, regular deadheading boosts bloom time
🎨 Alstroemeria Flower Colours:
Alstroemeria comes in an impressive range of bold, tropical-inspired colours:
• Pink, red, orange, yellow, purple, white
• Often with freckled or streaked throats in contrasting shades
• Excellent for colourful mixed borders or cutting gardens
🦋 Pollinator Benefits:
Though not a top native pollinator plant, Alstroemeria flowers do attract:
• Bees
• Butterflies
• Hoverflies
Their bright colouring and open shape offer visual cues and landing pads for visiting insects.
🪲 Pest & Disease Resistance:
• Generally pest-resistant
• May occasionally attract slugs or aphids, especially in very wet conditions
• Fungal problems are rare if planted in well-drained soil with good air circulation
❄️ Frost Hardiness:
• Hardy in zones 6–10, though mulch is recommended in colder regions
• In areas with harsh winters, tuberous roots can be lifted and stored or grown in containers
🌟 Unusual Fact:
Each stem of Alstroemeria typically produces multiple blooms, and its cut flowers can last up to two weeks in a vase — one of the longest-lasting cut flowers available. Despite its lily-like appearance, it’s not a true lily and is more closely related to plants like onions and asparagus!
