Genus Overview: Alstroemeria

Peruvian Lilies are now being bred with greater hardiness. Our Alstroemerias can be grown in USDA zone 5b if planted in a microclimate or sheltered in winter. All of our Peruvian lilies are perfectly perennial planted along the south foundation of our home where they are bathed in full sun. Presently, two Peruvian Lilies we offer are exclusive to Quackin' Grass Nursery and there may be a third coming... Indeed, 'Indie Star' was spotted as sport variant here while 'Laura's Flame' came to us via Professor Jonathan Lehrer. All are variegated forms and enchanting. Site in full or nearly full sun in any decent garden soil. Our Peruvian Lilies are offered by good old-fashioned perennial division.
