Alstroemeria 'Pink Star'

How to grow Alstroemeria 'Pink Star' in NZ

Alstroemeria 'Pink Star' grows best in a sunny to partially shaded position with fertile, well drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and throughout dry periods to encourage strong growth and continuous flowering. Adding compost before planting improves soil fertility and moisture retention. Mulching around the base helps keep roots cool, conserves moisture, and suppresses weeds. A sheltered location will help protect the flowering stems and encourage the best garden performance throughout the season.

Alstroemeria 'Pink Star' care tips

Alstroemeria 'Pink Star' is easy to care for and rewards gardeners with prolific flowering. Feed in spring and again during summer with a balanced fertiliser to encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Remove spent flowering stems by gently pulling them from the base rather than cutting them, which encourages new stems to emerge. Water regularly during dry weather and keep the planting area weed free. Healthy plants will continue flowering for many months.
