Description

The Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ is a stunning perennial that brings vibrant hues and delightful blooms to any garden. This guide will help you successfully plant and care for this beautiful flower, ensuring it thrives and enchants with its vivid display.

PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: The ideal time to plant Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ is in the spring. As the weather warms, the plant will establish its roots effectively, preparing for a spectacular blooming season.
  • Autumn: Alternatively, you can also plant your Alstroemeria in early autumn. This allows the plant to settle in before the colder months, promoting better growth when spring arrives.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ thrives best in full sun. Choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, which is essential for vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial for Alstroemeria. This plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Incorporating organic matter like compost improves soil quality and drainage, helping prevent root rot.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole that is about twice the width and the same depth as the root ball of your  Alstroemeria. This space allows the roots to spread comfortably.
  2. Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the excavated soil to enhance fertility and drainage. Nutrient-rich soil will support the robust growth of Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’.
  3. Planting: Place the root ball of the plant into the prepared hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole gently and firm the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
  4. Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly after planting Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ to settle the soil and encourage root establishment. Ensure the area drains well to prevent waterlogging.
Watering Requirements
  • Growing Season: Once established, Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ is relatively drought-tolerant. Water moderately during dry spells, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering to prevent root issues.
  • Dormant Season: In the dormant season, significantly reduce watering. Water only if the soil becomes excessively dry, as Alstroemeria requires minimal moisture during this time.
Feeding
  • Spring: At the beginning of spring, apply a balanced fertiliser to give your Alstroemeria a strong start to the growing season. This will support healthy new growth and vibrant blooms.
  • Mid-Summer: A light feeding in mid-summer can encourage continued flowering and ensure that Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ maintains its vigour throughout the blooming period.
Pruning
  • Deadheading: Regularly deadhead your Alstroemeria by removing spent flowers. This practice extends the blooming period and encourages the plant to produce more flowers.
  • Autumn Pruning: After the last blooms have faded, cut back the plant to ground level. This prepares the plant for winter dormancy and promotes healthier growth the following year.
Mulching
  • Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your Alstroemeria in spring. This helps retain soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature. Organic materials like bark chips or straw work best.
  • Winter: In winter, adding mulch around the plant protects the roots from harsh temperatures and prevents frost heaving, ensuring the plant survives the winter months.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: While Alstroemeria typically has sturdy stems, consider staking in particularly windy areas to prevent damage. This helps support the plant as it grows and blooms.
Final Tips

The Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Indian Summer’ is a low-maintenance perennial that adds vibrant colour and attracts pollinators throughout the growing season. By planting it in full sun and well-drained soil, and by following this care guide, your Alstroemeria will reward you with stunning blooms from summer into fall. Incorporate this magnificent plant into garden borders or containers for a lively display that enhances your outdoor space all season long!

    Excellent service. I was advised that Proctors Nursery go to Plant Fairs and that they send off plants, usually on around Tuesdays, so that they are held up in delivery weekends. The plants …. Wow… beautiful specimens, healthy, strong and already in bud. I’m thrilled. Thank you.

    I was kept updated from the ordering of the plant, through to being delivered. It was well packed & looked amazing when it arrived. Had to get in touch re planting, as weather has been unseasonably cold & wet, to which they kindly got back in touch with advice. I was anxious about ordering on-line from a company I didn’t know, but so glad I did, & yes would recommend them
