Plant in full (coastal) to part sun - this cultivar is noted as liking bright light. Can tolerate dry conditions but looks best with regular irrigation. Hardy to 15-20° F but tolerates lower temperatures if well mulched. When trimming or cutting Alstroemeria for flowers it is best to pull the stems up and out, so they break off below ground at the crown to stimulate the formation of new shoots but do so carefully so as not to pull out pieces of the rhizome itself.

Alstroemeria 'Koice' Inca Ice® is part of the Könst Inca Series and is protected in Canada and Europe through the Breeders Rights program. The genus Alstroemeria (at times spelled Alstremeria) was named by Carl Linnaeus, often called the Father of Taxonomy, for his friend and student Klaus von Alstroemer (Clas Alströmer), a Swedish baron. Alstroemeria come from two areas within South America with summer growing species restricted to eastern Brazil and winter-growing plants from central Chile with common names such as Peruvian Lily, Parrot Lily, or Lily of the Incas. We grew this cultivar from 2006 until 2010.
