Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Alstroemeria Inca Bandit has tropical looking, bright red blooms with black whiskers. It forms a bushy, upright clump of linear, emerald green tropical looking leaves. The Inca Collection has remarkable vigour and capacity to produce loads of flowers over a long period from early summer well into fall. Flowers are long lasting in vases. Pull the stems instead of cutting them to encourage a quicker reflush.

Medium-large, solid deep red flowers on compact plants. This is one of several new varieties from Könst Alstroemeria, who lists them generally under zone 8. Since 'Inca Ice' and some others are much hardier than that, there is a good chance that 'Inca Bandit' is at least hardy to zone 7. We'll update the zoning as info comes in.
