Alstroemeria Neptune | 2 Litre Pot

Vibrant summer colour. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: slow growing to average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Pinkish-purple flowers, which are heavily flecked with chocolate coloured markings on their creamy-white inner petals, and lightly dappled on the outer tepals, look magnificent when planted with rich plums, purples and soft lilacs. Alstroemeria flowers are incredibly long-lived in the vase too, so you may want to plant a few extras. Garden care: Always wear gloves when working with Peruvian lilies since contact with the foliage may cause skin irritation. After flowering cut back the faded flower-stems. In autumn provide a dry mulch of bracken or bark chippings to protect young plants.
