A new breed of Peruvian Lily bred for hardiness and luscious color. 'Inca Ice' has soft apricot pink and creamy yellow petals with characteristic brown flecking on 2-3' stems, a perfect height for cutting. Flowering time is mid-late summer in northern climates. Planting in well drained soil aids in winter hardiness.

A combination of creamy apricot and creamy yellow, with, you guessed it, the obligatory brown dashes. Compact, upright growth and very floriferous - in fact - our best summer performer.
