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.

During this year, we will be offering Indian Summer 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.
