Description

One of those stand-out perennials that looks just as at home in a florist’s boutique as it does in a tropical garden on the Mediterranean. Yet it’s as tough as old boots!

Yes, you can have it all, unique style and exotic personality, but hardy and easy to grow, all rolled into one plant.
Created through hybridising by a leading cut flower Alstroemeria breeder in Holland, you’ll get big, bright flowers from early summer into autumn.

What really sets this variety apart is the contrast between the rich, bronze-tinted leaves and the fiery orange and gold blooms. Flowers sit on upright stems above the foliage, and honestly, whether grown in the border or pots, they make such a strong visual impact.

And they don’t just look good, they last too! These are some of the longest-flowering perennials, and they’re fantastic for cutting too. Bring a few stems indoors and you’ll get that same burst of joy inside as you do in the garden.

Despite looking so exotic, these plants are fully hardy. Once they’re settled in, they’ll come back stronger each year, putting on an even better show.

Supplied as a set of three jumbo plug plants, ready to grow on and plant out.

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.
  • 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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
