PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
  • Spring: The best time to plant Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ is in spring when the soil has warmed up. This allows the roots to establish before the active growing season, ensuring a strong and healthy plant.
  • Early Autumn: Alternatively, planting in early autumn gives the plant time to settle before dormancy, leading to more vigorous growth in the following year.
Site Selection
  • Sunlight: Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ thrives in full sun to partial shade. It requires at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily to promote healthy growth and maximise flower production.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil is essential for Alstroemeria. Poor drainage can cause root rot, so improve soil structure by adding organic matter like compost to ensure proper drainage and fertility.
Planting Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hole: When planting Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’, dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but the same depth. This gives the roots room to spread and settle.
  2. Soil Preparation: Mix organic compost into the soil to boost nutrients and drainage. This will create the perfect environment for your Alstroemeria to grow strong and bloom prolifically.
  3. Planting: Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Gently backfill the hole, firming the soil to eliminate air pockets.
  4. Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil moist during the establishment period, but avoid overwatering.
Watering Requirements
  • Growing Season: During the growing season, keep Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ well-watered, particularly during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
  • Dormant Season: In the winter months, reduce watering as the plant enters dormancy. Only water if the soil becomes excessively dry, as it requires less moisture during this period.
Feeding
  • Spring: Feed Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage healthy growth and vibrant flowers throughout the growing season.
  • Mid-Summer: A light feed during mid-summer will help maintain its strength and extend its blooming period, ensuring continuous beauty in your garden.
Pruning
  • Deadheading: Regular deadheading of your Alstroemeria by removing faded flowers will encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking tidy.
  • Autumn Pruning: Once the blooming season is over, cut back the stems of the plant to ground level. This prepares the plant for the next season and encourages stronger growth.
Mulching
  • Spring: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as compost or bark chips, around the base of your Alstroemeria in spring. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Winter: In winter, mulching around the base will help protect the plant’s roots from frost and cold damage, ensuring it survives through harsh weather.
Supporting the Plant
  • Staking: Although Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ has a compact growth habit, consider staking if planted in a windy location. This will provide support and protect the delicate blooms.
Final Tips

Alstroemeria Summer Paradise Collection ‘Summer Saint’ is a hardy, low-maintenance plant that will reward you with abundant blooms from late spring until the first frosts. By providing it with well-drained soil, the right amount of sunlight, and following a simple care routine, you can enjoy its exotic, bi-coloured flowers year after year. Whether used in garden borders, containers, or as cut flowers, this Alstroemeria will bring lasting colour and beauty to your outdoor space.
