Alstroemeria INCA JOLI� ('Koncajoli' PP22267)

Alstroemeria INCA JOLI™ ('Koncajoli' PP22267)

Common Name: Peruvian Lily

Bred to be the perfect pot plant at retail, Inca Joli™ is a compact Alstroemeria that reaches just 8-12 inches tall in containers or 16-20 inches in the garden. Its habit is well-branched and bushy with green foliage topped with vibrant orange-red flowers with a splash of gold and dark streaks in the center.

This plant is very long blooming from late spring or early summer to fall, so it will have a long shelf life at retail and an even longer show of color in the garden.

Inca Joli™ has overwintered successfully for over four years in our zone 6 trials.

Alstromeria prefers to be grown in evenly moist, well-drained, rich humus, but it will tolerate drier soils. Choose a sheltered site in either full sun or partial shade, preferably at the base of a south or west-facing wall. Don't worry if it comes up later in spring than your other perennials. This is normal for Alstroemeria. It grows quickly once it emerges to make up for its late start.

Mulch with organic material in the winter to prevent frost heaving.
