Alstroemeria caryophyllaea, commonly known as Brazilian Lily, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the cool, high-altitude regions of Southeast Brazil. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) and can spread up to 3 feet (0.9 meters) wide. Brazilian Lily is characterized by its striking trumpet-shaped flowers, which come in a vibrant array of orange, pink, and purple hues, blooming profusely in the spring and early summer. The flowers are highly ornamental and are often used in cut flower arrangements due to their longevity and bright colors.

Brazilian Lily is valued for its showy flowers and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds. It is suitable for border planting, container gardening, and as an accent in mixed perennial beds. While it thrives in full sun, it can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. It prefers well-drained soils and can be drought-tolerant once established, though it benefits from regular watering during the growing season. Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. In regions with harsh winters, it is often grown as a container plant that can be moved indoors to protect it from frost.CC BY-SA 4.0
