Alstroemeria Bulb There are dwarf varieties that don’t get beyond 30cm (1ft) tall and work well in pots, but we mostly grow the border varieties that can shoot up to over 60cm (2ft) and are excellent for cutting. Each individual flower stem is long, branching at the top to make them rangy and elegant.

Like dahlias, alstroemerias are tender tubers, but they become hardy easily once established – with our increasingly mild autumns and winters, all it takes is a good mulch over the colder months and they will emerge the following season.

Alstroemeria BulbThe remarkable thing about many of the modern varieties is that they flower for months at a stretch, pumping out three or four separate flushes of flowers. They don’t seed everywhere and become invasive. After settling in for a couple of years, the new varieties spread slowly below ground, little by little, but not enough to become a pain – perfectly behaved, in fact. bulbs can be grown with caladium bulbs
