Deep Purple Potted Peruvian Lily Plants For Sale | Alstroemeria Inca Noble
This tropical-looking, compact cutie loves to show off its tufts of narrow, emerald leaves and velvety, purple flowers. The princely blooms awake in Spring and last through the Autumn months. Nearly black shading, dark whiskers, and a touch of white accent the violet hues.
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.
Alstroemeria are true Goldilocks plants, they don’t like it too hot nor too cold. They are native to the Andes mountain region of South America, where it stays cool/temperate year-round. Ideal temperatures are 50-65 F but they can withstand intermittent hot days up to 75 F with afternoon shade and a little TLC. Frost will kill unprotected leaves and roots.
