How to ensure your Alstroemeria Plants thrive 

Commonly known as Peruvian Lillies, Alstroemeria plants are the perfect addition to any outdoor space. Renowned for their vibrant colours and striking patterns, these elegant flowers bloom throughout the summer to create a breathtaking display. 

We have a wide variety of Alstroemeria plants for sale that are not only visually appealing but are also hardy and low maintenance, making them ideal for gardeners of all abilities. 

Planting: Successfully planting an Alstroemeria flower begins with selecting the best location. Start by finding a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. These plants thrive in at least six hours of sunlight per day and need to be planted in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. 

Using compost can help boost your soil's nutrient content and drainage. Dig a hole that's around 6-8 inches deep, space your Alstroemeria plants 12-18 inches apart, and you're good to go! 

Maintenance advice: As your Alstroemeria plants grow, they may need support from stakes to prevent them from toppling over. Water thoroughly after planting and then ensure that the soil is moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be aware of this as the growing season progresses. Alstroemeria plants are low maintenance, so basic pruning to remove any dead or dying foliage is all they need.

Awash with bright pink petals and yellow throats, it adds radiant shades and textures to your outdoor space. 

Indian Summer: The Indian Summer variety of the Alstroemeria plant is known for its warm aesthetic and statement orange hue. Due to its moderate height, it's suitable for pots or balcony gardens, but it's also a delightful addition to garden beds and flower borders.

This Alstroemeria plant works well for a garden border, and its compact nature means it thrives in a small space. If its pretty patio pots you desire, this variety is perfect.
