Peru Flowers and Culture
Peru's national flower is the Kantuta (Cantua buxifolia), a vivid tricolor bloom in red, yellow, and green — the same colors as the Peruvian flag. The Inca Empire called the Kantuta the “sacred flower of the Incas” and used it in religious ceremonies at Machu Picchu and Cusco. Today the Kantuta grows wild in the Andean highlands between 2,500 and 3,500 meters elevation and is cultivated for export markets. Peru's flower export sector employs over 12,000 workers and generates USD $200 million annually. Andean growing conditions — high altitude, strong UV, cool nights — produce flowers with harder cell walls, meaning Peruvian roses last significantly longer in a vase than those grown at sea level.
Orchid (Orchidaceae spp.)
Peru has the world's highest orchid biodiversity, with over 3,500 documented native species — more than any other country. The Machu Picchu Orchid Show is held each October in Cusco, attracting botanists and travelers from 40 countries. Peruvian orchid exports, primarily Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium, generate approximately USD $12 million annually. Orchids are the top premium gift choice for corporate occasions in Lima.
Lily (Lilium spp.)
Oriental and Asiatic lilies are cultivated in Peru's highland flower zones and are prized for their fragrance and large, showy blooms. White lilies are the standard sympathy flower across Peru, placed at memorials on Todos Los Santos (November 1). Pink and orange lilies are popular for Mother's Day (second Sunday in May), which is one of Peru's largest commercial flower events of the year.
Rose (Rosa x hybrida)
Peruvian roses, grown at altitudes of 2,700–3,200 meters in the Sierra region, are among the world's most sought-after cut flowers. The altitude slows growth, producing thicker petals, longer stems (70–90 cm), and exceptional vase life of 14–16 days. Peru exports roses to the US, Japan, Germany, and Russia. Red roses dominate Valentine's Day orders; pink and white roses are favored for Mother's Day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send flowers to Lima and Cusco from abroad?
Yes. abcFlora accepts international orders for flower delivery in Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, Trujillo, and all major Peruvian cities. Standard delivery is next-day from order confirmation, handled by a local Peruvian florist.
Why are Peruvian flowers considered higher quality?
Peruvian flowers are grown at altitudes of 2,700–3,200 meters in the Andes. The combination of strong UV, cool nights, and thin air slows growth and produces thicker petals and harder cell walls. This gives Peruvian roses and alstroemeria a vase life of 14–16 days, compared to 7–10 days for flowers grown at sea level.
What is the best flower for a birthday in Peru?
Red or pink roses and seasonal mixed bouquets are the most popular birthday choices across Peru. Peruvian roses offer exceptional vase life. For a locally inspired touch, alstroemeria — native to the Andes — is a meaningful choice that symbolizes devotion.
When should I order flowers for delivery in Peru?
Year-round delivery is available. During Mother's Day (second Sunday in May) and Valentine's Day (February 14), ordering 2–3 days in advance is recommended as these are Peru's two highest-demand flower periods.
