Peach Potted Peruvian Lily Plants For Sale | Alstroemeria Inca 'Husky'

Lavish sunset-toned blooms perched upon a mound of lance-shaped green leaves characterize this dwarf Alstroemeria, which was intentionally bred to be short and compact with large flowers. The velvety peach, apricot, and lemon tones make these blooms appear every bit as decadent as they sound.

This mound-forming, tuberous perennial is perfect for borders, small gardens and is excellent in containers! Grow her in a partial sunny spot with fertile, evenly moist, well-draining soil and you won't be sorry you did! Be careful, dry soil induces dormancy and reduces flowering vigor. Deadhead spent flowers as needed or bring flowers inside to take advantage of their long vase life as cut flowers. In early Spring, trim back or gently pull out old tuberous stems to encourage new growth and better flowering.

Are you lucky enough to have A/C? Do you keep your home temperate year-round? These compact Alstroemeria may be the most spectacular houseplant for you! As long as nobody has allergies to pollen of course.
