Summer Snow was the original white variety in the summer series of Alstroemeria, since its release it has proved to be a fantastic reliable variety, so much so that in a trial for Which Magazine it was rated number one. It is still as good as when it was first released but sadly now it is hard to come by. The plants are very vigorous and produce lots of flowers all summer long. Height-wise with us the stems normally get to around the 1m mark. Hardy to around minus 15c.

During this year, we will be offering Summer Snow 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.
