Product information
‘Summer Rose’ offers a new colour in the fabulous Alstroemeria Summer Series, flowering continuously from May to November. Boasting gorgeous deep pink blooms on long stems this variety is sure to blend seamlessly with other border perennials and creates stunning cut flowers. With the added benefit of becoming increasingly full, vigorous, and floriferous each year it grows.How to grow:Pot up Alstroemeria plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, plant Peruvian Lilies in a sunny or semi shaded position in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Alternatively, plant Alstroemeria in patio containers in soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3. These tall plants will appreciate a support to protect their tall stems. Insert the support into the ground prior to planting and tie the stems in with soft twine throughout the growing season.Throughout the growing season, water Peruvian lilies regularly and feed container grown plants each month. When picking alstroemeria pluck the flowers rather than cutting as plucking stimulates the rhizome encourage further growth. In autumn, cut back the old Alstroemeria flower stems and apply a dry mulch of chipped bark or straw to the base of the plant to protect it from cold winter weather. Alstroemeria prefers to be left undisturbed but can be divided in autumn or spring if clumps become overcrowded.
