• Alstroemeria is an extremely long lasting cut flower (12 to18 days).

• New premium varieties have better flower structure, bloom size and interesting colors.

• Common name for Alstroemeria is "Peruvian Lily"

Care & Handling Tips

• The first consideration is handling the stems: Stem joints break easily, so handle them gently.

• When received, unpack them immediately, trim about 1 inch from the stem ends with a diagonal cut and place them in a vase with water and flower food.

• Change the water and preservation in your vase every four days. Also, cut the stem ends again and remove all spent flowers and yellowing leaves.

• Keep your vase in a cool place away from drafts and direct sunlight.
