Alstroemeria garaventae is a tuberous perennial from central Chile, a species of Peruvian lily found in mountain and valley habitats. It grows best in well-drained soil with good light and cool conditions, and it is a tough, rewarding garden plant.
Alstroemeria garaventae is a species of flowering plant in the family Alstroemeriaceae, native to Central Chile. Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis is a subspecies of it found at Achibueno and Ancoa valleys and characterized by tepals and inflorescence leaves of smaller size than the usual subspecies. Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. garaventae, the main subspecies, grows at altitudes ranging from 1200 to 2000 meters above sea level. The subspecies Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis grows at a much lower range, from 240 to 390, and does so at locations more than 100 km south of the distribution of the main subspecies.
