  • Alstroemeria shoots

    Hi Guys,

    I know this website is fruit and veg, but I'm in need of some help.

    I'm growing Alstroemeria, I bought it last year already in bloom, I had 3 shoots of it. Over the winter I was unaware that they need cutting back and mulching.

    Anyway, this Spring I had something growing where the Alstroemeria was they were small and flat, I assumed they were the Alstroemeria. Now that an actual Alstroemeria is growing, I want to know what these small flat things are (see picture 2) and is picture 3 the Alstroemeria?.

    Does anyone know?
    Thanks

    The small flat things are, I think, hellebores. And Picture 3 could well be Alstroemeria, although it's been a good few years since I grew it. I do remember how much the slugs and snails liked it, though.

      Picture 2 looks like hellebores, I think picture 3 is the alstroemeria

        It would agree with the small flat things being hellebores and the other looks like alstroemeria.
