Indian Summer
Our top-selling alstroemeria is a true world-beater Indian Summer. For several years visitors to the RHS Garden at Wisley have marveled at the large clump of 'Indian Summer' which can be seen growing by the entrance to the old plant center. Indian Summer grows about 1m tall and flowers from the end of May until often well into November, plus as a bonus the leaves are a lovely shade of red. Fully hardy in all but the very coldest areas but as with all Alstroemeria they will die if the plants get waterlogged.
For 2025 we will have jumbo plugs available from mid march to mid April and plants in 11cm pots from mid-May.
Jumbo plugs are a good way to save 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.
