Currently, there are no other Alstroemerias available with the same coloured flowers as Valley Girl, they are not only extra large but also an unusual shade of Salmon. Short stocky plants that only rarely grow over 40cm at our nursery. As with Times Valley, we would recommend a sunny site. Hardy down to around minus 8, best with some form of protection in Winter, either fleece or a good covering of mulch.

During this year, we will be offering Valley Girl 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.
