Alstroemeria Inticancha Romance - Peruvian lily

Alstroemeria Inticancha^® Romance is a compact and exceptionally floriferous variety of Peruvian Lily. Its vibrant and bright, fuchsia pink flowers with white throats bloom continuously from June to October. The very dense plant has low, sturdy stems that withstand rain and wind well. A perennial but not very hardy, it is a perfect variety for flowering pots.

Alstroemeria Inticancha^® Romance belongs to a series of recent hybrids characterised by a low, compact habit and a very long flowering period from June to October. They are not very hardy (-5/-8°C depending on the variety), but make excellent seasonal plants and produce lovely cut flowers.

The 'Romance' variety, like almost all plants in the Inticancha^® series, is particularly easy to grow in good horticultural compost. The plant forms bushy clumps within a few months, with leafy stems reaching 30 to 40 cm in height when in flower, and 30 cm in width. Flowering continues non-stop from summer to autumn. The very open flowers are gathered in clusters at the ends of the stems. They consist of fuchsia pink petals marbled with white. Each plant can produce at least 30 flowers. The foliage is arranged on the upper part of the stems. Leaves and stems disappear in winter, leaving only the underground tuber with fleshy roots. This is sensitive to transplant shock, especially in older plants, so it is not advisable to move it once established.

Alstroemeria Inticancha^® 'Romance' is a stunning variety, ideal for decorating balconies and terraces. It forms a flowering bouquet that rivals the brilliance of Ivy-leaved Geranium, the King of Balconies. In borders, this plant pairs well, for example, with other varieties from the Inticancha series ('Passion', 'Moon', Maya) but also with ornamental grasses like Stipa tenuifolia. It also makes for opulent romantic bouquets.
