Mirabel
New for 2024 deep rose pink with a white heart. Mirabel only became available in December when the breeder Hilverda released a handful of plants for 2024 it is the last variety of Alstroemeria that we will be adding for 2024. A great choice for planting large containers, a dwarf habit with flowering stems up to 30 cm tall which will make a real talking point on a patio. Best with some form of protection in Winter. Inticanchas and Inca varieties of Alstroemeria are hardy down to -5 so they will need some protection in winter as we often get to -8.
During this year, we will be offering Mirabel as:-
Garden Ready Plants in 11cm pots. Orders for these need to be placed by the end of February, after which time we will close our order books. This gives us time to grow them ready for sending out in mid May, at which time they can be planted directly outside.
Jumbo plugs, these will be available to order from early March until the middle of April. Growing Alstroemeria from Jumbo plugs is a great way of saving money for experienced gardeners who can grow them in a heated greenhouse, but they are not suitable for planting straight outside. We recommend planting them into 11cm pots upon arrival and keeping them at a minimum temperature of 12c, by around the middle of May they should be ready for planting outside.
Flowering plants in 3lt pots will be available from late May onwards, but are only for collecting, no mail order.
