Product description
Alstroemeria Hula is a perennial garden plant, also commonly known as a variety of Peruvian Lily Plant. This outdoor plant boasts green foliage with beautiful summer blooms in shades of light pink, dark pink and white, blooming from June all the way until October.
These plants are easy to grow and incredibly rewarding, with masses of flowers blooming over such a long period. Since they are perennials, they will outlast annual bedding plants not only with their long flowering period, but because they’ll return year after year!
Alstroemeria Hula are sturdy plants with excellent heat resistance, perfect for growing on a hot, sunny patio all summer long. They will need some protection once the first frost arrives and should ideally be moved to a more sheltered position in the garden or a greenhouse.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Water regularly during dry spells, taking care not to over-water as this can damage the fleshy roots.
