Our philosophy and explanations about this page

 

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

As many Chilean alstroemerias, this is a very beatiful flower. It has the advanatage that it grows low, and is ideally suited for potting, although of course it can be grown outside. The place where it grows is covered with snow for more than 4 months and - 10º C is frequent here! It needs loose, poor soil with good drainage and moderate watering.
