Product description
This collection of Alstroemeria plants will bring an exotic feel to the garden, whether that be in pots, containers, flower beds or borders. The character from their patterned flowerheads makes them very eye-catching, along with a vivacious burst of colour when they bloom in Summer. We will handpick a selection of healthy, garden ready plants that will be ready to flourish and thrive upon arrival.
These hardy plants are simple enough to care for. Be sure to place them in an area of full sun to partial shade, aiming to avoid full shade. Keep the soil moist, well-drained and maintain watering to a level of twice a week at least in the peak of their Summer flowering period.

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.

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.
