Alstroemeria

Seed Details
Beautifully bi-coloured and veined, these deer resistant, and scented flowers are a must-have for any cut-flower enthusiast as they are a common bouquet filler. The plants are rhizomatous perennials. Once the seed has formed a rhizome the young plant starts growing from the main rhizome. Each year another 5 to 7 rhizomes form from the main rhizome, giving it the ability to send up between 50 to 70 flowering stems per year once established.
Instructions
Stratify for 4 weeks for best results. Start indoors anytime or plant directly outside in March. Sow 1 to 2 cm deep. Plants are frost hardy but need protection in colder months. (Cover with organic material) Germination occurs in 15 to 50 days. These beauties prefer well-drained fertile acidic soil. Although Alstroemeria is drought tolerant, if you are growing for the purpose of cut flowers, it is important to keep them watered well for optimum production. They do not perform well in clay-based soils and prefer full sun with some shade location for best results. Will naturalize well under a tree or on a sloping hillside.
