Inca Coral® Peruvian Lily

Inca Coral is the trade name associated with Alstroemeria 'Konocoral', a compact, clump-forming Peruvian lily. Its pale coral-pink to cream flowers have yellow centers marked with dark streaks, opening through summer and into autumn. ## Garden character and placement The plant reaches about 18–20 inches tall and forms a similar-width clump of green, lance-shaped leaves. Use it toward the front of a flower border, in a patio container, or in a cutting garden. It prefers full sun or partial shade and fertile soil that stays moist without becoming waterlogged. The [Royal Horticultural Society profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/299650/alstroemeria-inca-coral-konocoral-inca-series/details) identifies the cultivar and describes its compact habit, flower markings, and garden uses. A cultivar-specific [Promesse de Fleurs profile](https://www.promessedefleurs.com/bulbes-d-ete/bulbes-d-ete-par-variete/alstroemeres/alstroemeria-inca-coral.html) gives a mature height of about 45 cm, consistent with the catalog’s 0.45 m value. ## Seasonal performance Flowers appear through summer and autumn, with local timing shaped by climate. The fleshy root system is sensitive to disturbance, so give a young plant time to establish before dividing or moving it. In colder areas, a protective mulch can help the crown through winter; hardiness ratings vary with climate and drainage. ## Maintenance Water during prolonged dry spells while growth and flowering are active, but keep the root zone well drained. Pull faded flowering stems from the base to encourage new stems and tidy the clump. At the end of winter, remove dry or damaged stems without cutting back healthy new growth.
