Alstroemeria Inca Vito
Notify MeAlstroemeria Inca Vito is a compact, clump-forming perennial that produces stunning deep red flowers with subtle darker markings on the inner petals. Blooming from late spring through to autumn, this striking Peruvian Lily adds bold colour and charm to borders, containers, or floral arrangements. Its tidy habit and lush green foliage make it a versatile and low-maintenance choice for any garden.
Perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, or pots. Thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Water regularly during the growing season and mulch in winter to protect the roots. Space plants 30–40 cm apart for a rich and vibrant display.
Reaches a mature height of 30–40 cm and spreads up to 30 cm, delivering dramatic, velvety blooms that add depth and sophistication to any outdoor space.
Trimming: Remove spent stems at the base after flowering to encourage continuous growth. In late autumn or early spring, cut back old foliage to make way for new shoots.
Deadheading: Regularly remove faded flowers to prolong the flowering season and prevent seed formation.
Fertilising: Apply a high-potassium fertiliser every two weeks during the flowering season to support blooms. A slow-release fertiliser in spring can also promote healthy growth.
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging by ensuring good drainage.
Pest Control: Look out for slugs, snails, and aphids, which may attack the plant. Use organic pellets or insecticidal soap to manage infestations.
Disease Management: Alstroemeria is prone to root rot and botrytis (grey mould) in poorly drained or humid conditions. Ensure well-drained soil and good air circulation, and remove any affected foliage promptly.
