Summer Heat
Until quite recently a good red was missing from our range of tall alstroemeria, this has now changed with the introduction of this one plus Summer Pepper, and Inca Ruby. The two summer varieties are similar in growth habit to Summer Break but with pillar box red flowers. All Alstroemeria need good free draining soil or compost so be careful not to get them too wet in winter or they will rot, hardy down to around minus 15C.
We are now taking orders for our next batch of plants which will be ready for shipping in around 3 weeks, grown in 11cm pots that can be planted straight outside.
2025 Available as jumbo plugs and plants in 11cm pots from mid-May.
We only supply Jumbo plugs in March they 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.
