PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Time to Plant

The ideal time to plant Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ is in spring or early autumn. Planting during these seasons allows the roots to establish before the heat of summer or the cold of winter. This ensures that the plant will thrive and produce its characteristic blooms from late spring until the first frost.

Site Selection

Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ prefers a location that receives full sun or partial shade. Choose a spot where the plant can get at least 4-6 hours of sunlight each day. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as these plants do not tolerate waterlogged conditions. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, amend it with organic matter or compost to improve drainage.

Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Soil: Before planting Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’, work compost or organic matter into the soil to increase its fertility and drainage.
  2. Digging the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just deep enough to place the plant at the same level it was growing in its pot.
  3. Planting: Place the plant into the hole and backfill it with soil, gently pressing down to remove air pockets. Ensure that the crown of the plant is slightly above soil level.
  4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help the roots settle and to remove any remaining air pockets in the soil.
Watering Requirements

Once established, Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ is relatively drought-tolerant. During the growing season, water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure that the soil is draining well. Reduce watering during periods of dormancy or cooler months.

Feeding

For vigorous growth and continuous blooming, apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring when the new growth begins. A second feeding in mid-summer can further support blooming, ensuring that Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ remains healthy and productive throughout the flowering season.

Mulching and Pruning

To protect the roots and retain soil moisture, apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant. Mulching also helps suppress weeds and keeps the soil cool. Prune regularly by deadheading spent blooms to encourage new flower production. In late autumn, after flowering has finished, cut the stems back to ground level to prepare the plant for winter dormancy.

Staking

Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ has sturdy stems, but if you experience particularly windy conditions, consider staking the plants to prevent damage. Use plant supports early in the growing season before the plant becomes too large to avoid disturbing the root system.

Final Tips

By following these care instructions, Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Ice’ will reward you with continuous blooms from late spring until the first frost. Its compact growth and exotic flowers make it a fantastic choice for both garden beds and containers, adding long-lasting beauty to any space. With the proper care, your Alstroemeria will thrive year after year, providing stunning blooms with minimal maintenance.
