About

Alstroemeria — known variously as Peruvian lily, princess lily, and lily of the Incas — is one of the most prolific and rewarding flowering perennials you can grow in an Australian garden. Where most plants give you a few weeks of flowers each year, Alstroemeria delivers a continuous succession of blooms from spring right through to autumn, often without a significant pause.

Today's garden varieties are a far cry from the tall, floppy species plants of the past: our range of Princess Lily cultivars grows to between 20–40cm in most cases, requires no staking, and produces extraordinary quantities of flowers relative to their size. At Online Plants, our horticultural team has selected six Alstroemeria varieties specifically for their reliability, flowering performance, and suitability for Australian garden conditions — from the mild gardens of Victoria and South Australia to the warmer growing conditions of coastal Queensland and New South Wales. Every plant is dispatched directly to your door in growing condition and backed by our 30-day guarantee to grow. What makes Alstroemeria such an exceptional garden plant?
