‘Inticancha Paraiso’ is a stunning Alstroemeria that blooms from June until December. It generates masses of rich purple flowers, that each feature flushed, maroon speckled throats. They cloak its neat mound of fresh green foliage and add a tropical vibe to dull outdoor spaces. Ideal for growing in exotic, cottage and cut flower gardening schemes, this Peruvian Lily remains easy to care for all year round and is happy to grow in semi shade. It will develop in height and spread to 40cm Alstroemeria ‘Inticancha Paraiso’ has been explicitly bred for patio growing – forming a neat, well-branching, bushy plant which is smothered in funnel-shaped, deep velvety purple blooms for months! Alstroemerias perform best in a sunny, sheltered spot in a rich, free-draining soil that contains lots of organic matter. A weekly feed with a high-potassium feed such as tomato food will encourage prolific blooming, while removing each stem after the flowers have faded will prolong the flowering season. Tall stems may benefit from staking or support to prevent wind damage. Will survive temperatures down to around minus 5c but not much lower. Apply an autumn mulch if in a border, or if in a container, move to a frost-free spot over winter.
