Alstroemeria plants are one of the very best cut flowers it often out lasts every flower in the vase. As a cut flower it is a select variety that grows tall and is grown in greenhouses. It is sometimes available in nurseries in the spring and is an awesome planter specimen. The nursery varieties are often a short growing variety and are in full bloom or near when purchased and will typically bloom most of the summer. The colour selection is quite extensive so there’s good a chance that there will be a colour that fits your pallet.
