Inca Magic Peruvian Lily

With its stunning tri-colored flowers and long blooming season, the Inca Magic Peruvian Lily is a great choice for your garden. The flowers of this Alstroemeria are white, purple and yellow and really stand out against its dark green foliage. This annual is easy to grow and care for and if given the right conditions, will bloom all summer up until the first frost. Growing to around one foot high, the Inca Magic Peruvian Lily is ideal for filling gaps in borders.

Being a dwarf cultivar, the Inca Magic Peruvian Lily does not require staking. Its stems are held upright, and being compact, it is perfectly suited to growing at the front of a border or in a container. This Alstroemeria also is a great choice for growing as a cut flower, as it has a long vase life and will brighten up any indoor spot. 

Inca Magic Peruvian Lily Plant Care

The Inca Magic Peruvian Lily thrives when grown in full sun, but it can also be planted in light shade. As with all Peruvian lilies, Inca Magic requires free-draining soil to prevent its root from rotting. For best performance, plant this Alstroemeria in fertile soil and add a high potash feed when in bloom. Frequent watering is required to keep the soil moist, especially for containers, but overly wet soil can cause the plant to struggle. 

For the best chance of blooms all summer long, you can deadhead the flowers as they begin to fade. Mulching plants in spring will not only help prevent moisture loss but will also keep the weeds down as well. The Inca Magic Peruvian Lily can be treated as a perennial in zones 8 through 10 and as an annual in the colder zones. 

Inca Magic Peruvian Lily Spacing

Over time, the Inca Magic Peruvian Lily forms a clump and grows to around 10 - 14 inches high and 14 - 16 inches wide. When grown in a group, space each plant 14 to 16 inches apart.
