A favorite of florists for their long-lasting flowers in a vase, Inca Batavia Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria) is a perennial variety that can be grown year-round outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 10. That said, if growing outdoors in above-ground containers, where their roots are exposed to colder air temperatures, they will only be hardy to Zone 8b and will therefore need to be overwintered in an indoor space where temperatures won't drop below freezing. From spring to frost, this tropical-looking beauty features trumpet-shaped flowers with rich purple petals having deep purple spots that stand out against a white flare on the upper petals. Inca Replay forms a sturdy clump 14 to 18 inches tall and wide. Its stems are clothed in attractive gray-green foliage that complements the flowers. With 6 hours or more of direct sunlight per day and a moist, but well-drained soil, Inca Batavia will bring non-stop beauty to garden beds and containers situated on or around patios and other outdoor living spaces, where the exotic-looking flowers can be enjoyed up close.

Growing in a clump 14 to 18 inches tall and equally as wide, the Inca Batavia Peruvian Lily is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or groupings in larger spaces. It is excellent as a solo or mixed with other sun-loving plants in combination container gardens. A fine addition to lily and iris gardens, cut flower gardens, tropical-look gardens, purple theme gardens, perennial gardens, and cottage gardens.
