Notes
'Indian Summer' lily of the incas (Alstroemeria 'Indian Summer') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It forms a bushy, upright clump and blooms in waves from early summer well into fall. Pull stems instead of cutting them to encourage a quicker reflush.
Pairs well with Inca Gold yarrow, Purple top, and Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta.
