Inca Lilly | Alstroemeria 'Inticancha Sunstar'

Alstroemeria ‘Inticancha Sunstar’ is a long-flowering, compact Inca Lily that brings a bright and cheerful splash of colour to the garden with its vibrant golden-yellow flowers, delicately marked with contrasting tones. Its attractive, lance-shaped foliage and neat, clump-forming habit make it an excellent choice for flowerbeds, borders, patio containers, and smaller gardens, while its long-lasting blooms can also be enjoyed as cut flowers with an impressive vase life.

For the best results, plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny to lightly shaded position and keep well watered during the growing and flowering season. To encourage continuous flowering and new shoots, do not cut the flower stems. Instead, pull the entire flower stem firmly from the base of the plant. This encourages fresh growth from the base and helps maintain a healthy, floriferous plant.

Plant & Care

Plant Inca Lily ‘Inticancha Sunstar’ in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position.
