Arrangements with Peruvian Lilies

The Peruvian Lily, scientifically known as Alstroemeria, is a popular choice for floral arrangements due to its striking appearance and impressive vase life. These flowers are characterized by their trumpet-shaped blooms, which often feature speckled throats and contrasting streaks of color. Each stem typically bears multiple blossoms, creating a lush and full look.

Alstroemerias come in a wide array of colors, including vibrant shades of pink, orange, yellow, purple, and white, making them versatile for various themes and occasions. They are often used in mixed bouquets to add texture and a pop of color, and their long stems make them ideal for tall vases.

Originating from South America, particularly Chile and Brazil, Peruvian Lilies hold cultural significance as symbols of friendship and devotion. They are often gifted to express mutual support and encouragement, and their colorful blooms can brighten any setting.

To ensure your Peruvian Lilies last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:

• Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle upon arrival and every few days to ensure maximum water absorption.
• Keep the water fresh by changing it every 2-3 days and add flower food to nourish the blooms.
• Place your arrangement in a cool location away from direct sunlight, drafts, and fruit, which can emit ethylene gas and shorten the flowers' lifespan.
• Remove any wilted blooms promptly to prevent bacterial growth.

With proper care, your Peruvian Lilies can remain vibrant and beautiful for up to two weeks.
