What a lovely garden you have, and maintained so well! Thank you for this valuable tip! I just planted Alstroemeria in every color in my garden. I did not know anything about this plant, so this was very useful, many thanks!

Hello Sharon, thanks for your response, I have just had a look at your webpage and am very impressed, so sorry for your loss , I live in Perth West Australia although originally from Manchester UK ( 55 yrs ago ) and bought my plant about 2 yrs ago, had it in a large pot where it seemed to just exist ?. I transplanted it into the garden bed about 9 months ago and its gone off like a rocket, everybody is asking for a cutting or the name , This leads me back to square one where I was/am scouring the net on how to propagate these plants, it is our winter at the moment with spring just around the corner, so maybe a good time if it is possible , hope you don’t mind my asking , Bye for now, Norman

Don't deadhead newly planted alstroemeria like this. Wait until next year. You might end up uprooting it or pulling it out of the pot.

Hi there. This alstroemeria is a hybrid therefore if it produces seed at all it will not come true to the parent. Propagation is by division. In the following two videos I divide this particular alstroemeria in another part of the garden. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdB4oNOAsL-rknk.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m96cmbqGvLKuhYE.html
