  • Alstoemeria query

    I've planted a piece of root in a 2l pot, and it's now putting up leaves. At the mo its stood on my dry, bright, south facing doorstep, but with the weather getting colder am I better fetching it in to the (unheated) house.

    My ex-neighbour had loads of these growing wild in their garden, and they stayed put in the ground all year. It was a sheltered south-facing garden though. Probably not much help, am I?

      Actually G4 that IS helpfull. We keep 'em in a heated growhouse (in winter) at work so that was no guide.
      But loads of stuff which can't survive in a pot will survive in the ground, never thought to ask if these might.

        It will be absolutely fine outside - I have loads of this in the walled garden that I am restoring / reclaiming and, being north of Inverness, we had snow by the feet last winter and this year we have had a better display than ever, though that may also have been due to my digging it up and splitting one huge clump into lots (and I mean lots) of smaller clumps, all of which survived, and went on to flower this year.
