Description
Alstroemeria Incalys Purple is a compact and refined Peruvian Lily, prized for its continuous flowering in vibrant shades of mauve purple enhanced by a bright orange centre. Its dense, low habit, ideal for borders, small beds and containers, makes it a highly versatile plant in both exotic and more classic gardens. It flowers non-stop from June until the first frosts, and is hardy down to –12 °C. It requires a rich, well-drained and moist soil, as well as a location sheltered from wind in winter. It tolerates moisture better than older varieties, but good drainage remains essential to protect its tuberous roots.
Alstroemeria Incalys Purple belongs to the Alstroemeriaceae family. It is part of the Incalys series, resulting from the breeding work carried out over several years by Ernest and Pierre Turc in Angers. The Incalys line brings together compact cultivars with excellent hardiness (down to −10 °C, and occasionally −20 °C in trials), durable both in the ground and in pots. This cultivar, named 'Turcal209', is distinguished by its sustained summer flowering; its campanulate, 6 cm diameter flowers display a nuanced mauve purple with a vivid orange centre. Its habit is a dense clump 30 cm tall and 50 cm wide, in pots or in the ground. Its growth is medium to fast-paced, producing sturdy stems bearing 5 to 10 persistent flowers from the first year. The foliage, composed of lanceolate leaves 10–15 cm long, is deciduous or semi-evergreen depending on the winter, dark green and smooth, before declining during winter dormancy. The smooth, rigid and erect stems ensure a structured habit that supports the flowering well. The tuberous root system is formed of fragile tubers accompanied by shallow roots. It is recommended to plant them in deep, loose and well-drained soil to avoid winter rot.
In the garden, Alstroemeria Incalys Purple adds a vibrant touch. Its mauve purple, punctuated by an orange centre, pairs naturally with the acid foliage of Heuchera ‘Lime Marmalade’, the warm inflorescences of Achillea millefolium ‘Terracotta’ or the vertical elegance of Verbena bonariensis. In a pot, it becomes a living bouquet on a sunny terrace.

Planting and care
Plant Alstroemeria Incalys Purple in spring, choosing a location in full sun or partial shade, in light, well-drained, fairly rich, low-lime, neutral to slightly acidic compost. They will appreciate some watering to support their flowering in summer. These plants are somewhat hardy, down to -8/-10°C, provided the soil remains dry in winter. You can protect the crown with a thick mulch of leaves or fern fronds in autumn. Slugs are very fond of young shoots; be sure to protect them from these. Growing in pots allows you to shelter the plants from frost by storing them in a bright, airy, and very minimally heated room.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
