Product description
Alstroemeria Colorita Yenti is a compact, herbaceous perennial plant that has glossy, dark green foliage and bright white flowering that is joined by yellow flecks and a throat-like feature of the same colour. The foliage provides a great contrast between the colours of the plant, with the white and yellow shades making it both elegant and eye-catching. The plant will begin its flowering in June, continuing all the way through to October. Alstroemerias should be planted in moist, well-drained soil, whilst being placed in full sun to partial shade for the most-part as it will struggle to thrive easily when placed in areas of shade. When watering, once a week will suffice.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Top Tip
Slugs and snails are known to devour alstroemerias, so use an eco-friendly barrier or deterrent to protect young plants.
How to Water
Water regularly during dry spells, taking care not to over-water as this can damage the fleshy roots.
How to Plant
Choose a sheltered spot in full sun with free-draining soil and dig a hole around 20cm deep and slightly wider than the root ball. Add some well-rotted organic matter to the hole and leave 40-60cm between plants.
