The Inca Candy Peruvian Lily is a tropical beauty that will turn heads wherever you plant this low-maintenance perennial. The deep pink trumpet-shaped blooms have a slight ruffle, and the top and bottom petals feature a splash of white dotted with dark flecks. This continuous bloomer will push out striking flowers spring through fall. The flowers are surrounded by narrow sword-shaped leaves in a deep shade of green.
As a dwarf plant, this Alstroemeria maintains a compact size, making it a perfect addition to a container on a porch or patio or near the front of garden beds. Use this plant in borders or to create a stunning mass planting. The blooms make excellent and long-lasting cut flowers for added convenience. Alstroemeria is native to South America and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 7 through 10.
Inca Candy™ Peruvian Lily Care
The Inca Candy Peruvian Lily needs full to part sun so that the ideal spot will receive at least 4 hours of sunlight, but closer to 6 hours of daylight is better. Water when the top inch of the soil dries out. The soil should retain some moisture but allow for drainage. Alstroemeria grows from rhizomes, which store water but cannot handle soggy conditions. The soil should have a 5.5 to 6.5 pH.
Deadhead this Peruvian Lily to keep it looking amazing and help it retain its compact growth habit. Remove dead growth at any time, but this plant generally does not need much pruning. Feed this flowering beauty with an all-purpose, water-soluble fertilizer high in nitrogen, such as 10-5-5 or 12-4-8. Fertilize every other week during the growing season. Every few years, divide the rhizomes to create more plants. Dig the roots up, carefully separate the rhizomes and replant.
Inca Candy™ Peruvian Lily Spacing
The Inca Candy Peruvian Lily is a dwarf plant that will reach 8 to 12 inches high by 14 to 16 inches wide. Space plants 16 inches apart to create a dense, mass planting. One plant can comfortably live in a 12-inch container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
