Alstroemeria Inticancha Red (21cm Pot)

Product Description Alstroemeria Inticancha Red is a striking dwarf Peruvian Lily celebrated for its bold, saturated colouration, exceptional flower density, and tidy growth habit. Throughout the spring and warm summer months, it produces a continuous, profuse canopy of exotic, trumpet-like blooms featuring rich velvety-red petals accented with delicate dark burgundy throat flecks.

Supplied established in a generous 21cm container, this advanced specimen delivers immediate, dramatic floral impact to garden beds and container designs. Specifically selected for its compact, self-supporting genetics, 'Inticancha Red' naturally develops a sturdy, rounded mound of fresh emerald-green foliage that never sprawls or requires staking, making it an outstanding choice for mixed perennial borders, pathway edges, and standout patio containers.

🔴 Bold Crimson Blossoms: Highly saturated red flowers deliver strong visual impact and dramatic warm-season colour

🪴 Established 21cm Pot: Strong, extensive root development provides immediate garden volume and high bud count on planting

🌱 Resilient Tuberous Roots: Fleshy underground rhizomes store moisture and nutrients, providing strong vigour and consistent re-blooming

✂️ Long-Lasting Cut Flowers: Stems can be picked for indoor vase arrangements, maintaining fresh petal quality for up to two weeks

Care & Maintenance

Light: Position where it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of daylight. In extremely hot garden beds, light afternoon shade helps maintain rich blossom colour and petal longevity.
Watering: Water thoroughly at the base of the plant to keep the root zone evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid waterlogged soil.
Feeding: Apply a potassium-rich liquid flowering fertilizer every 3 to 4 weeks during the active spring and summer blooming periods to support heavy bud production.
Grooming: To stimulate continuous new flowering stems, gently pull or twist spent stems from the base of the crown rather than cutting them off, which prompts the rhizome to produce fresh shoots.
