The Inca Husky Peruvian Lily may become your favorite plant after you get to know this low-maintenance beauty. This Alstroemeria blooms non-stop throughout the spring, summer, and fall. The flowers are a peachy orange hue and feature yellow centers with dark-colored flecks. Solid stems lined with dark green foliage that comes to a point support the blooms. This plant fails from South America and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 7 through 10.
This particular cultivar maintains a compact growth habit. It will reach about a foot in height, making the Inca Husky Peruvian Lily a great option to feature near the front of garden beds. The striking flowers look dazzling in mass plantings, borders, or as a filler in a container. The bold flowers stand out, so this plant will be a focal point wherever it is planted. The flowers last for a long time, so this is a great plant to add to your landscape if you enjoy cut flowers.
Inca Husky™ Peruvian Lily Care
Place the Inca Husky Peruvian Lily in part to full sun. This plant needs at least 4 hours of light daily, but closer to 6 hours is ideal. Water when the top layer of the soil feels damp. Peruvian Lilies like moist conditions, but the soil should promote drainage and not be soggy. For more advanced gardeners, maintain a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5.
Fertilize every other week while the plant is blooming. Use a water-soluble plant food high in nitrogen. Remove dead growth as necessary, but otherwise, this plant does not require much pruning. Deadhead the plant to keep it looking nice and help it maintain its compact size. This plant can be propagated through division during the spring. Dig up and separate the rhizomes and replant them in a sunny spot.
Inca Husky™ Peruvian Lily Spacing
The Inca Husky Peruvian Lily will grow 8 to 12 inches tall and 14 to 16 inches wide. Space 16 inches apart to create a consistent planting or space them further apart if you want a more spread-out landscape. This plant makes an excellent container plant, and 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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
