What customers say
Customers express high satisfaction with the quality and striking beauty of the Inca Mystic Peruvian Lilies. The rhizomes arrive healthy and viability is excellent, leading to vigorous growth.

Know before you buy
Yes, these are excellent for containers. Their compact, mounding habit makes them well-suited for pots, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and keep the soil consistently moist.
Inca Mystic is a perennial in USDA hardiness zones 8 through 10. If you live in a colder climate, you should treat them as annuals or bring your containers indoors before the first frost.
These plants thrive in partial sun. They prefer cooler temperatures, so providing protection from the intense afternoon sun will help them maintain their vibrant color and extend their blooming season.
Absolutely. One of the best features of the Inca Mystic is its long vase life, making it a reliable choice for fresh floral arrangements throughout the spring and summer.
For optimal airflow and growth, space your plants 12 to 18 inches apart. This allows the mounding habit to fill in nicely without overcrowding.
They require moderate, consistent moisture. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained, as they do not like to sit in waterlogged soil, which can lead to root issues.
