Search alstroemeria tallNot all alstroemerias are the same. While some remain compact, alstroemeria tall selections can reach up to 1 metre in height, producing multiple strong stems topped with clusters of colourful trumpet-shaped blooms. These plants thrive in New Zealand’s mild climate, flowering generously from late spring through autumn, and are renowned for their extended vase life. Iconic examples include varieties like Alstroemeria Summer Holiday (Peruvian Lily) and Alstroemeria Inca Ice (Peruvian Lily), which are celebrated for their vigorous growth and showy performance.
Growing alstroemeria tall varieties is straightforward with a bit of care and the right spot in your garden. They prefer well-drained soil, full sun, or partial shade, and benefit from regular mulching to retain moisture. Space the plants about half a metre apart to give them room to flourish. As perennials, they’ll return year after year with minimal maintenance. Feeding in spring and deadheading after flowering will encourage even more blooms.
For best results, water deeply but less frequently to encourage robust, deep root systems. Stake taller stems early in the season to prevent them from flopping once in full flower. Top tall-performing selections include Alstroemeria White Buttons (Peruvian Lily), a crisp white variety with a classic accent, and Alstroemeria Inca Rio (Peruvian Lily), loved for its bright and cheerful flowers.
The height and vibrancy of alstroemeria tall cultivars make them perfect for the back of mixed perennial borders, as attention-grabbing focal points, or for planting en masse along fences. Their straight, sturdy stems also make them one of the best choices for summer bouquets. When cut, their blooms last up to two weeks in a vase—simply pick them when flowers are just opening.
Consider pairing tall alstroemerias with lower-growing varieties or compact fillers for a tiered effect. Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunstar (Peruvian Lily) works beautifully at the front of beds to complement taller selections.
