How to grow Alstroemeria 'Indigo' in NZ

Alstroemeria 'Indigo' thrives in full sun to partial shade in most New Zealand regions. Plant in fertile well drained soil enriched with compost to support strong root development. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, particularly in winter. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season to encourage continuous flowering. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds while protecting the roots.

Alstroemeria 'Indigo' benefits from regular watering during dry periods to maintain lush foliage and abundant blooms. Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to promote vigorous growth and extended flowering. Rather than cutting spent stems, gently pull them from the base to encourage new shoots. Remove any yellowing foliage to keep the plant tidy and maintain good airflow around the clump.
