Alstroemeria wasn’t always a favorite for wholesalers and retail florists. This bloom did not make it to North American until the late 1970s. Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian Lilies originated from South America with many meanings ranging from friendship to prosperity and fortune.
These wholesale flowers are a favorite for many retail florists and designers due to their versatile nature. They are used in all designs from wedding arrangements to sympathy work to holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. They come in many color variations, with more popping up each year. You can pair alstroemeria with lush blooms such as hydrangeas, football mums, or roses as well as with tropical flowers and greens for an outdoor beach event.
When Alstroemeria was first introduced to North America it was a tough sell. Most just saw the closed blooms and dismissed them. But once bloomed, their intricate coloring and exotic look attracted many new fans. Today, alstroemeria is in very high demand.
Wholesale Alstroemeria is also an extremely cost-effective choice for floral arrangements. Their stems have multiple blooms per stem, meaning a small amount will go a long way. They also have a very long vase life which can range from 14 to almost 20 days. That is incredible! Being that these blooms are readily available year-round, it is no wonder that they are so beloved for all design types.
