Alstroemeria – Inca Coral 2 Pack

Alstroemeria Inca Coral | Inca Lily Plant

Micro Alstroemeria, or Peruvian Lilies, are really big on performance and presence in the garden. But the color doesn’t have to be bold, is can be whisper soft, like the lovely Alstroemeria Inca Coral. Delicate shades of pink, peach and coral blend on the petals, with lemon yellow highlights and cinnamon whiskers for an unforgettable appeal.

This mound-forming, tuberous perennial is perfect for borders, small gardens and is excellent in containers! Grow her in a partial sunny spot with fertile, evenly moist, well-draining soil and you won’t be sorry you did! Be careful, dry soil induces dormancy and reduces flowering vigor. Deadhead spent flowers as needed or bring flowers inside to utilize their long vase life as cut flowers. In early Spring, trim back or gently pull out old tuberous stems to encourage new growth and better flowering.

Are you lucky enough to have A/C? Do you keep your home temperate year-round? These compact Alstroemeria may be the most spectacular houseplant for you! As long as nobody has allergies to pollen of course.

Alstroemeria are true Goldilocks plants, they don’t like it too hot nor too cold. They are native to the Andes mountain region of South America, where it stays cool/temperate year-round.
