PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: Plant Alstroemeria ‘Lily Rose’ in spring when the soil is workable and warming, allowing roots to establish before active growth begins.

Sunlight: Choose a position in full sun or partial shade. Alstroemeria flowers best with plenty of light.
Soil: Free-draining soil is essential. Improve soil with compost or grit to ensure good drainage and healthy root development.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth to allow roots to spread easily.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to improve structure and fertility.
Planting: Position the plant so the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, then backfill and firm gently.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil and help Alstroemeria ‘Lily Rose’ establish quickly.

Mid-Season: A light supplementary feed can help maintain flowering performance throughout the season.
