Inca Ocean Peruvian Lily is a dwarf variety of Alstroemeria that features showy flowers throughout the growing season. The petals of the trumpet-shaped flowers have lavender tips and fade to white near the center. Hints of yellow and dark markings add even more visual interest to the blooms. This upright plant features dark green foliage that provides a lovely contrast against the bi-color flowers. Alstroemeria grows as a perennial in USDA zones 7 through 10 and is native to South America.
This plant will command attention wherever it is planted, and it can commonly be found in borders, mass plantings, and containers. Due to the compact growth habit, plant Alstroemeria near the front of a bed or use it as a filler in a container. The long-lasting blooms are prized as cut flowers since they typically hold up for several weeks. The beautiful flowers attract bees and other pollinators.
Inca Ocean™ Peruvian Lily Care
This plant needs part to full sunlight to thrive. Plant in an area that receives 4 to 6 hours of sunlight exposure. Water when the top layer of the soil is dry. Alstroemeria grown in the ground can benefit from a layer of mulch to hold in the moisture. Container-grown plants will need water weekly, depending on the weather and conditions. Use rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5.
Remove old growth at the start of the growing season and trim back dead growth as needed. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Routinely fertilize every other week using a nitrogen-rich fertilizer with a ratio like 10-5-5. If the plant outgrows its spot, it can be divided during the spring.
Inca Ocean™ Peruvian Lily Spacing
Once mature, the Inca Ocean Peruvian Lily will be 8 to 12 inches tall and 14 to 16 inches wide. Each Alstroemeria can be planted as close as 16 inches for mass plantings. Give the plants more room if you want to maintain space between plantings or if you want to give them a big enough area to spread out.

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.
