{"title":"Alstroemeria","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile most alstroemeria plants either hate heat, hate cold, or take over the garden, our trials have found several selections that make great sun perennials that bloom over a long period of time from spring to fall (taking a break in the peak of summer). Many of our alstroemeria lilies are hybrids from Mark Brigden's wonderful breeding program while he was at the University of Connecticut (now at Cornell). In addition to their excellent garden performance, our alstroemeria plants make superb long-lasting cut flowers...lasting up to 2 weeks in a vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to grow Peruvian Lily\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe South American genus Alstroemeria prefers a \u003cstrong\u003esunny\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewell drained\u003c\/strong\u003e site. They perform best with \u003cstrong\u003eregular watering\u003c\/strong\u003e. Some hybrid alstroemeria lilies go \u003cstrong\u003esemi-dormant in the summer\u003c\/strong\u003e, and despite the heat require less water than in spring. Alstroemeria lily flowers attract hummingbirds and once established, the plants are \u003cstrong\u003edrought-tolerant\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur Peruvian Lily selections vary in height. Some of our hybrids were originally bred for the cut flower industry and are tall, while others were bred for \u003cstrong\u003econtainer\u003c\/strong\u003e culture and have a shorter habit. Peruvian Lily flowers can be white, pink, red, peach, salmon or orange in color. The throat of Peruvian Lilies almost always has dark flecks on a light colored background.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you live in the Southeast and are looking to buy alstroemeria bulbs then you can't go wrong with our specially selected heat\/humidity\/cold tolerant cultivars. If your goal is to grow Peruvian Lilies for cut flowers, then choose a tall selection with long, vase-worthy stems. But if your goal is to have a landscape plant with a tight habit, then choose one of the short hybrids bred for the container market.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVisit our blog at JLBG.org to check out our \u003ca title=\"Open JLBG.org blog in new window\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.jlbg.org\/tag\/peruvian-lily\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eblog posts about Peruvian Lilies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alstroemeria-koice","title":"Alstroemeria Koice","description":"\u003cp\u003e(aka: Alstroemeria 'Inca Ice') Alstroemeria 'Koice', from Holland's Könst Alstroemeria, has been a star in our garden trials.
