Until recently Intichancha Havana was one of the few true yellow dwarf varieties around, this has now changed with the introduction of three new Inca varieties from Konst Alstroemeria. Which one is best is a question we don't know the answer to yet, currently, we would say they are all good. All dwarf alstroemerias benefit from a bit of protection in Winter as they dislike temperatures below minus 5.

During this year, we will be offering Havana 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.
