Dark and Rich Alstroemeria Collection

Description

I was bowled over by these in our alstroe trials last summer and autumn. If pulled (like rhubarb), not cut, they just keep on flowering and then last 3 weeks in the vase.

We love to hate alstroes, but you can't say that about this rich and exotic, hot off the breeding bench trio.

Care Tips

Stake plants so they don't collapse in the wind or rain, and keep picking the flowers - the best way is to pull them rather than cutting. Hardy with a mulch once established. Handle with gloves, so that the sap does not cause irritation.
