Search alstroemeria in potsAlstroemeria in pots lets you enjoy this stunning perennial even in small spaces. Containers are ideal for New Zealand’s ever-changing weather, giving you the freedom to protect your plants from harsh winds or heavy rain. Alstroemeria in pots also means fewer problems with invasive spreading, so you can control the plant’s spread and root health. Add instant drama to decks and pathways, or create an elegant indoor centrepiece with the right variety.
Not all alstroemerias are created equal when it comes to container gardening. Compact cultivars are particularly well-suited for pot culture. Popular choices include:
Choose a large, sturdy container with good drainage. Use a premium quality, free-draining potting mix. Position your pot where it will receive morning sun and some afternoon shade—alstroemerias prefer cool roots and bright indirect light. Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist (but not soggy), and feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring and mid-summer.
Mulch the surface of your pot to help retain moisture, and remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Alstroemeria in pots typically only needs dividing every couple of years. When dividing, gently separate the tuberous roots and repot the healthiest sections into refreshed soil.
Unlike many perennials, alstroemeria can flower repeatedly with little downtime, especially in a container. Protect your plants from harsh frosts by moving pots to a sheltered spot in winter. Check frequently for slugs and snails, which can damage new shoots. With proper care, alstroemeria in pots can deliver a generous show of colour and a steady supply of cut flowers for your home.
