Alstroemeria Inca Fire Potted Plant 2 Pack

Alstroemeria ‘Inca Fire’ is a show-stopping perennial designed for high-impact color in smaller spaces. Part of the popular “Inca” series, this dwarf variety is prized for its compact, mounding habit and its nearly relentless bloom cycle. The flowers are a fiery, deep crimson red accented with golden-yellow throats and exotic dark “whiskers” or speckles. Unlike the tall, lanky Alstroemerias of the past, ‘Inca Fire’ stays neat and tidy, making it a “thriller” for containers or a vibrant front-of-border specimen. It is a prolific bloomer that can provide color from late spring all the way until the first hard frost, and its stems are world-famous for their incredible vase life – often lasting two weeks or more after being picked.

Quick Facts:

• Foliage: Dense, lance-shaped green leaves that create a lush, waxy backdrop for the fiery blooms.

• Flowers: Funnel-shaped, brilliant red blossoms with yellow highlights; sterile (non-invasive).

• Light: Prefers Full Sun to Partial Shade. In very hot climates, afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent “blind stems” (stems that produce only leaves and no flowers).

• Growth Habit: Compact and mounding; typically reaches only 10-12 inches tall and wide.

• Hardiness: USDA Zones 8-10. In Zone 7, a heavy winter mulch is recommended to protect the tubers from deep freezes.

• Landscape Use: Excellent for mixed containers, small garden beds, and as a “cut-and-come-again” source for indoor floral arrangements.
