Description
'Indian Summer' has a beautiful and unique flower that has a strong bronze purple tinge to the foliage and produces gorgeous flame-coloured blooms. With five months of flowering from June through to October, these long-lasting blooms will look perfect in your pots and mixed borders. The most impressive thing about these Alstroemeria is that they are naturally hardy to around -7 and therefore will survive most UK winters.
Top Tips
Young plants are best left undisturbed to form clumps; mulch for the first two winters - about 6-8 inches.
When picking alstroemeria pluck the flowers rather than cutting as plucking stimulates the rhizome encourage further growth.
Care Information
  • 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, or in patio containers in a soil-based compost (John Innes No.3).
  • Water Indian Summer regularly and feed container grown plants with a general-purpose feed each month.
  • In autumn, cut back old Alstroemeria flower stems and apply a dry mulch of chipped bark or straw to protect the rhizomes.
  • Although Alstroemeria prefers to be left undisturbed, large clumps can be divided in spring.
