Alstroemeria Inticancha "Inca Lily Sunstar" 21cmPot

Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunstar (21cm Pot)

Product Description Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunstar is a radiant dwarf Peruvian Lily celebrated for its luminous, warm-toned blossoms, dense floral coverage, and naturally tidy habit. Throughout spring and summer, it produces an abundant canopy of exotic, trumpet-like flowers featuring glowing golden-yellow petals brushed with warm apricot-orange accents and adorned with delicate burgundy throat markings.

Supplied established in a generous 21cm container, this advanced specimen brings instant warmth, colour volume, and heavy bud counts to beds and patio containers alike. Selected specifically for its dwarf, self-supporting genetics, 'Sunstar' naturally maintains a neat, sturdy mound of rich emerald-green foliage without the flopping or staking common to older varieties, making it a standout choice for sunny borders, walkway edges, and outdoor planters.

Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position in an area receiving at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily. Light afternoon shade in intense heat zones helps preserve flower brilliance and extend petal life.
• Watering: Water thoroughly at the base of the plant to keep the root zone evenly moist. Ensure the container or bed drains freely to avoid waterlogged roots.
• Feeding: Feed every 3 to 4 weeks during the active spring and summer blooming period with a balanced, potassium-rich liquid plant food to support continuous flowering.
• Grooming: To encourage non-stop flower bud production, pull or twist spent flower stems cleanly from the base rather than cutting them, which stimulates the rhizome to push out fresh flowering shoots.
