Alstroemeria Inticancha Moon

Alstroemeria Inticancha Moon is a compact, long-flowering Peruvian lily ideal for containers and the front of sunny or lightly shaded borders. Expect a neat clump around 30–40cm tall, producing generous trusses of elegant white blooms through summer into autumn, excellent for cutting. Grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and keep evenly moist during the growing season. Choose a spot with full sun or light shade; mulch in late autumn to protect the crown and help conserve moisture in summer. Remove spent flowering stems by gently pulling from the base rather than cutting to encourage fresh shoots and repeat blooms. In colder parts of Ireland or during severe frosts, provide winter protection, especially for container-grown plants.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
