Summer Break is one of the original varieties from the summer series of alstroemerias. Since its introduction it has proved to be a good garden plant plus the flowers are long-lasting when cut, or should we say pulled as you shouldn't cut alstroemeria, pulling the stems stimulates the rhizomes to put up more shoots! In Winter mulch the plants well, hardy down to minus 15c.

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.
