Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Alstroemeria Inca Husky has masses of tropical looking, apricot coloured blossoms that glow with highlights of lemon and mahogany. It forms a bushy, upright clump of linear, emerald green 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.
