About the Alstroemeria Genus

The Alstroemeria genus, known commonly as Peruvian Lilies, is native to South America and renowned for its lush, tropical-looking blossoms. Among the genus, the Inticancha series stands out for its compact size, making it especially popular for pots and smaller garden beds. One of the reasons gardeners love Alstroemeria Inticancha is its remarkable flowering period—plants can bloom from late spring, right through to the first frosts. Additionally, these perennials are treasured in cut flower arrangements because of their excellent vase life. Other popular varieties in the Alstroemeria range include Alstroemeria Summer Holiday (Peruvian Lily), Alstroemeria Inca Ice (Peruvian Lily), and Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunstar (Peruvian Lily), each offering unique hues and forms for your garden.

Growing Alstroemeria Inticancha in New Zealand

Alstroemeria Inticancha is exceptionally well-suited to New Zealand’s diverse climates. For best results, plant them in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. They appreciate protection from harsh afternoon sun, especially in regions with intense summer heat. Regular watering through dry periods helps the plants maintain lush growth, while mulching keeps roots cool and conserves moisture. A light feed in spring and after each flush of flowers will encourage repeat blooming. While the Alstroemeria Inticancha series is generally pest- and disease-resistant, occasional checks for slugs and aphids will help keep your plants healthy.
