#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Alstroemeria in a protected location, these bulb plants grow best in full sun in cooler climates, or part shade in the warmest growing zones. Choose a location with enriched, well-drained soil and provide regular light water until established or consistently in containers. They like to be undisturbed for the first couple of years, so Northern growers should pot up their bulbs and lift the entire planter into a cool dark location for the winter. Mulch well especially going into winter and cut all stems back late fall.
Growers in Zone 7 the rhizomes can overwinter when heavily mulched for the winter and when planted in a protected location. Northern growers can treat these bulb plants as annual accents in containers or lift them in the winter.
- 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
