Also known as Peruvian Lily and Lily of The Incas. Tuberous perennial. Blooms from late Spring to early Autumn. Plant in semi shade or full sun. Use as a border plant, planting 45 cm apart. Can be grown in pots. Plants require a potassium rich fertilizer, every five days, during the growing season. Although winter hardy they may need protection from heavy frost. Pick flowers from the base and dead head regularly.
Alstromeria Psittacina, Alstromeria Regina are two of the four varieties growing in my garden.
