Alstroemeria 'Inticancha Navayo' is a stunning and compact variety of the Peruvian lily that brings a burst of color and texture to any garden. This low-maintenance perennial thrives in various settings, making it perfect for small gardens, containers, or as a delightful cut flower. With its long blooming season and attractive dark green foliage, it not only enhances your garden's aesthetic appeal but also supports local pollinators throughout the year. Featuring lilac-pink flowers adorned with dark brown speckles and a creamy white throat, this cultivar blooms from early summer to late autumn, ensuring your garden remains vibrant for months.
Hardy to about -5°C (23°F), it prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering and the removal of spent flowers will encourage further blooms, while its compatibility with other Inticancha varieties and ornamental grasses makes it a versatile choice for flower beds, borders, and containers. Additionally, its long vase life makes it an excellent choice for floral arrangements, attracting bees and other pollinators to your garden.

Growing Information
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.
