Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunshine

Alstroemeria Inticancha Sunshine is a compact, clump-forming Peruvian lily prized for its rich yellow, freckled blooms carried over a long season in summer. Ideal for containers and the front of sunny or lightly shaded borders, it performs best in fertile, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil. Deadhead by gently pulling spent stems from the base to encourage repeat flowering, and mulch in winter to protect the crowns from frost. A steady, reliable grower that brings bright colour and excellent cut flowers to Irish gardens.

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.
