#ProPlantTips for Care:
Alstroemeria do best in full sun or part shade and They like to be undisturbed for the first couple of years, so northern growers can pot their plants up for easier moving in the cooler months. Mulch the site well with 3-4 inches of arborist barkchips, especially going into winter. Cut all stems back in late fall. They like a bit of a protected spot.
Once the foliage yellows or frost nips back the tops of these plants, trim back the foliage and stems and add a layer of mulch or compost for the winter. Northern growers can lift their bulbs and store them in a cool, dark location for the winter where they can remain dormant.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade (Especially In Warmer Climates)
- Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Likes Regular Moderate Moisture
- Mulched Beds High In Organic Matter
- Prune Back Late Fall
