What is alstromeria?

• Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas, is a genus of flowering plants native to South America.
• These plants are perennial and have long-lasting, colorful flowers that come in various shades such as pink, orange, purple, yellow, and white.
• Alstroemeria flowers have six petals with distinctive markings and come in clusters on a tall, leafy stem.
• They are popular choices for cut flower arrangements and bouquets because of their long vase life.
• Alstroemerias are relatively easy to grow and prefer full sun and well-draining soil. They can be grown in containers, garden beds, or as cut flowers.
• Some varieties of alstroemeria are considered invasive in certain regions, so it's important to check local regulations before planting them in your garden.
