Alstroemeria
Alstroemeria
The Peruvian lily — clusters of speckled, lily-like blooms that outlast nearly everything beside them.
Alstroemeria packs several small, freckled, lily-shaped blooms onto each branching stem, so a few stems fill an arrangement with color and detail. Its intricate throat markings reward a close look, and its exceptional vase life makes it one of the best values in the cooler.
It mixes easily, playing a supporting role among roses and larger focal flowers, but it is lovely massed on its own in a casual, everyday bouquet.
What Alstroemeria means
Devotion, friendship, and mutual support — a warm choice for the people who show up for you.
Care tips
Strip the lower leaves, which fade faster than the flowers, and expect blooms to keep opening for up to two weeks.
