Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies)

Alstromeria Flower Bouquets at ProFlowers

Did you know that Alstroemeria flowers are some of the longest-lasting flowers in any mixed bouquet you’ll ever receive (or send!)? That’s right – so no matter what color you pick to be part of your perfect perennial package, throw a few stems of this blooming beauty in for a lush background and full on touches and tints!

Beautifully spotted and marked perennials, Alstroemeria are beautiful lilies with deep, thick roots. They grow up to three-feet-tall on strong, branched stems. Each trumpet-shaped flower is near an inch or two in diameter. The flowers come in stunning shades of pink, rose, purple, and many more, and can be spotted or even streaked with contrasting colors. This makes it a TRUE stunner in the vase or any arrangement…

The first and foremost reason the Alstroemeria is so popular? Because it’s so easy to care for (it’s even college-student tested and approved…)! You can buy Alstroemeria stems in a striking variety of colors as well. Plus, the Alstroemeria actually has about 2-4 blooms PER stem! This “vive la fleur” makes them pop in any arrangement you’re sending, making or receiving!

From the Alstroemeria’s bold purplish hues to the more popular deep pink and maroon reddish tones, to the luscious white creamy mix so often found in weddings and Christening ceremonies, the flower’s blooms (or “petals”) stay on the flower long after full bloom so you can enjoy them a long time.

These pretty petals look great on their own or as a filler flower for other arrangements. For example, set six stems among a few large sunflowers or a bunch of yellow daisies for a spring feel. Or try preparing a winter vase after you buy a darker color of this Peruvian lily, which is the “proper name” (who knows which is more well-known!) of the Alstroemeria flower.

When you buy a Peruvian lily bouquet, you’ll receive 50 gorgeous stems at ProFlowers.com, which actually nears up to 200 blooming flowers! It’s breath-taking! And to allow these beautiful flowers to last longer, ProFlowers ensures that they’re shipped fresh, budding, and ready to bloom.

This very pretty wild flower from South America, because of it’s popularity, is now a major player in the “floral arrangement” arena, and a huge hit with designers and landscapers alike! In fact, you can see the wonderful garden bloomer relatively anywhere lining the frost-free Southern California coast in gardens, landscape sketches, shops, malls, markets and yards everywhere!

You can buy Peruvian Lilies online now and have them shipped to anywhere in the country! From the almost overwhelming full vase described above, to smaller bud vase varieties, the Alstroemeria will bring a wide smile to your recipient and will garner you a world of thanks!
