The Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily or Alstroemeria hybrid 'Teshunte' is a marvelous perennial with showy, eye-catching flowers. Peachy petals have buttery yellow margins, and the reverse side is a deep apricot. The top and bottom petals are sunny yellow with dark flecks. Flowers bloom throughout the summer. Dark green foliage has purplish-black flecks for added dimension. The robust foliage anchors the plant and gives it a well-rounded appearance.
Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily is a vigorous grower that reaches over three feet tall. Plant this beauty near the back of a mixed bed for a burst of color during the summer. This perennial works well as a thriller in containers. Trim the stems to enjoy the flowers in arrangements. The blooms make wonderful, long-lasting cut flowers. The Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily grows in zones 6 through 9.
Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily Care
Select a planting location that receives partial to full sun. Summer Breeze Peruvian Lilies need fertile soil that is acidic to neutral and moist but allows drainage. Water consistently to maintain moist soil. Provide additional water during a dry spell to support continued blooming. Use a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season.
Remove faded flowers for a neat appearance. Apply a thick layer of mulch in the fall to protect the roots from chilly winter temperatures. Spent growth can stay in place during the winter but trim dead or damaged foliage in early spring.
Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily Spacing
The Summer Breeze Peruvian Lily is a large perennial that stands 36 to 42 inches tall and 30 to 36 inches wide. Space plants 30 to 36 inches apart to create a continuous planting.

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.

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.
