Summer Break
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.
