Product Details

Alstroemeria aurea, known as Peruvian lily, is a perennial plant native to open areas of South American forests, particularly in Chile and Peru. It is known for its summery flowers in shades of yellow and orange, with small burgundy spots, which grow in clusters and are highly valued in ornamental gardening for their durability and beauty.

The leaves are long, lance-shaped, and a rich green. The plant reaches between 30 and 60 cm in height and forms dense clumps. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sunny or partially shaded location. It requires moderate watering, avoiding waterlogging, and is not tolerant of severe frosts, so in colder climates, it is recommended to protect it during the winter.

It is easy to grow, ideal for gardens or pots, and its low maintenance makes it a popular choice for outdoor decoration.
