Advice
Alstromerias originate from the central Americas, and will thrive in a sheltered sunny spot flowering readily in the summer months as they are southern hemisphere plants that thrive on equal amounts of day and night.
Because they have tuberous, fleshy roots that will rot in wet winter soil make sure they are planted in an area that has good drainage. Adding some grit at the time of planting can help with drainage.
