Oh my!!! I had no idea astroemerias grew this much! I had seen them only as cut flowers, on flower arrangements. It's such a large plant! How fantastically beautiful! I can't get over this!!!! Wow!
What a lovely garden you have, and maintained so well! Thank you for this valuable tip! I just planted Alstroemeria in every color in my garden. I did not know anything about this plant, so this was very useful, many thanks!
Love this plant. So rewarding and a big bees favourite . Grows into bigger, stronger bush year after year. However it doesn't like all locations, so it can take some trial and error to find the right spot
They are so beautiful and amazing. I never see such a big place with Alstromeria. I love that plant. Thank you for the informations. Kind regards from Germany
Thank you for watching and your nice comment. I always like to have big clumps of plants rather than the 'spotty effect' you sometimes get from small pieces of lots of different things. Best wishes,Rachel
Knew I saw one of your videos, absolutely gorgeous, inspired me to get a red alstroemeria. Mine just got killed by the Frost, hope it returns. I have others that have!
Hello Sharon, thanks for your response, I have just had a look at your webpage and am very impressed, so sorry for your loss , I live in Perth West Australia although originally from Manchester UK ( 55 yrs ago ) and bought my plant about 2 yrs ago, had it in a large pot where it seemed to just exist ?. I transplanted it into the garden bed about 9 months ago and its gone off like a rocket, everybody is asking for a cutting or the name , This leads me back to square one where I was/am scouring the net on how to propagate these plants, it is our winter at the moment with spring just around the corner, so maybe a good time if it is possible , hope you don’t mind my asking , Bye for now, Norman
Hello Norman. Thank you for your message and for watching. Propagation of alstroemeria cultivars is by division. I have successfully divided mine in autumn and spring, if this is of any help. Good luck, Rachel
Thanks for sharing ur tips! I didn't know that you have to pull out the whole thing! do you groe day lilies Rachel? if you do can you make a care video for them please? Thanks.
Dang, I pulled up 3/4 of mine. There was new spindly growth and a few strong ones at the soil surface. By June we are into the *100+ weather in Northern California. They were looking sad. Looking forward to a renewed bush.
Great video as always❤️beautiful lily💐💐 I have planted Peruvian Little miss Zoe this year in the pots. How l look after Little miss Zoe lily in the winter, how can be protected from frost?
Hello, a lovely garden, any idea why my six year old alstroemeria isnt putting up new shoots from the middle any longer. I always dead head in the same way as you do. Its my pride and joy, but not as magificent as yours ! A
Thank you for you expertise. Wondering what color Alstroemeria is in this video? I want to plant the same color you have in your video they are soo lovely.
Thank you for sharing your horticulture knowledge and your beautiful garden. I enjoy watching your videos very much. May I ask what are those the big leaves plants behind the alstroemerias field please? They look stunning as the background for these beautiful flowering Peruvian lilies. Thank you and have a nice day. Helen Chen
Thank you, Helen, and wishing you a happy Christmas. The plant you mention is Tetrapanax papyrifer 'Rex' You may find these videos interesting... ua-cam.com/video/zbO4W4_wdE0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xBzwBfEB7SE/v-deo.html
What is the name of that very large leafed plant in the background? You can see it very clearly on the right of the screen at about :59 seconds. Any idea? It's beautiful!
Hi I just bought one from.the store and was trying to pull out the stems by the root but they just kept snapping off even though I was pulling down near the base. Will it be ok? Thank you😊
@@GardeningatDouentza I have bought today alstroemeria indian summer. I read it is winter hardy alstroemeria and this variaty is able to overwinter succesfully even frost down to minus fifteen. We will see next winter.
@@adampluta7098 Indian Summer is my favourite alstroemeria, with gorgeous dark foliage. I can't say for its hardiness at -15 but I wish you every success.
I dont know why my alstroemeria flowers all died. I pulled all the dead flower stems out, but they all started dying quickly, and now there is 2 shoots, but no flowers... How can I fix it, and get more stems and flowers
This clump was planted 11 years ago and it was several plants then but I didn't take note of how many. In time, of course, alstroemeria clumps up and spreads. Here it is kept in check by the lawn.
Hi there. This alstroemeria is a hybrid therefore if it produces seed at all it will not come true to the parent. Propagation is by division. In the following two videos I divide this particular alstroemeria in another part of the garden. ua-cam.com/video/OjHmpOKYGbE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/exlfWUWLJUM/v-deo.html
I'm your 100th comment.

+Orchids & a Dutchy Yes, it's quite a bully in the border too. Thanks for watching, Andrea.
You should see all the colors it comes in. Every shade of pink, purple, red, white, and combinations of those colors! Lasts a long time in a vase too.

Those Peruvian lilies are so GORGEOUS :-) Such a BRILLIANT video Rachel, thanks so much for sharing and have a FAB Wednesday ahead XXXXX
thanks, lyn. i love them because they look so exotic yet are very Hardy.
Excellent video. Got the answer I was looking for.
Glad it helped
So simple. Yet so effective....and somehow satisfying.
i so agréé 😄
We have had ours well over 20 years and comes up every year, it's from this year but we love the orange and its colourful in the bck border.
Knew I saw one of your videos, absolutely gorgeous, inspired me to get a red alstroemeria. Mine just got killed by the Frost, hope it returns. I have others that have!
Oh no. Poor alstroemeria! Yes, a wonderful perennial that feels like its exotic but it usually quite hardy. Thanks, Nick.
Great video, you saved my Alstroemeria..thanks again!
Glad to help.

Love your alstroemerias! I bought some "Sunset" ones, and are very beautiful. How many plants do you have in that area you showed?
I am sorry but I don't remember how many I originally planted. Plants spread over time, of course. Alstroemeria is a beautiful and great plant.
Nice introduction keep blogging
Great video as always❤️beautiful lily💐💐 I have planted Peruvian Little miss Zoe this year in the pots. How l look after Little miss Zoe lily in the winter, how can be protected from frost?
Move your pot under shelter in winter or cover with fleece, depending on your climate.
@@GardeningatDouentza thank you so much💐💐
what an an amazing Alstroemeria

i'm glad you thought so much of it. Thank you

Perennials die off in the middle over time. Try dividing it! Here's the video how to do it...

Thank you for you expertise. Wondering what color Alstroemeria is in this video? I want to plant the same color you have in your video they are soo lovely.
This video features Alstroemeria 'Orianna'. It is my favourite. I hope you can find it 😁

Hi I just bought one from.the store and was trying to pull out the stems by the root but they just kept snapping off even though I was pulling down near the base. Will it be ok? Thank you😊
Don't deadhead newly planted alstroemeria like this. Wait until next year. You might end up uprooting it or pulling it out of the pot.
Where can I buy this Alstromeria ( orianna )please.....I live in North Wales UK and am a small flower farmer .thankyou
I'm sorry. I don't know.
Absolutely beaetiful Peruvian lilies. Are they cold hardy?
thank you for watching. alstroemeria are cold hardy in Ireland.
How many plants are included in that Alstroemeria display please?
Sorry, I do not remember how many I originally planted but alstroemeria do bulk up quickly!
Thank you 😊🍀
Welcome!
Will these spread naturally planted in the ground?
Absolutely. Peruvian lilies are usually very vigorous and will spread.
How many years did it take to get that wide?
It's hard to say but 'Oriana' is a vigorous alstroemeria
love those lilies
Hello, what is the name of this alstroemeria? I am looking for such deep orange color. Where did you but it? Thank you.
Alstroemeria 'Oriana', bought a long time ago.
@@GardeningatDouentza Thank you very much. I will try to find it somehow and somewhere over here in Poland.
@@GardeningatDouentza I have bought today alstroemeria indian summer. I read it is winter hardy alstroemeria and this variaty is able to overwinter succesfully even frost down to minus fifteen. We will see next winter.

If it is a perennial alstroemeria it will send up a new flush of flowers.
@@GardeningatDouentza oh thanks, yes it is a perennial alstroemeria. Almost thought it was dead for a second..
That looks like an amazing plant, will it survive winter in northern England ?
Hi Steve. The alstroemeria is hardy in most of Ireland. It should do for you.
Gardening at Douentza I must buy one, yours looks amazing, it really does, thanks so much, have a lovely weekend 😊🌞
Yes we have them in the garden we are near Middlesbrough
flaminghell thanks, do they come in different colours 😊😊
Look for the magnificent variegated Alstroemeria "Rock and Roll" you won't be disappointed I promise .
Yes, it's a great one. I have it 😊
Thanos for watching
Hello I just subscribed I need your opinion on some plants different color of the peruvian lilly's
Well, I can't give an opinion if you don't ask the question 🥺
Is that just one plant.?
Thank you
No, it's several plants.
Do you deadhead the dwarf Alstroemeria the same?
Yes, indeed
beautiful plant! humongous!
monstrous😄
What would you do with the spent seeds ?
It's a hybrid. I don't think it produces seed. If it does you can always collect and sow it although seedlings will not be true to the parent
GT GT video and info question can you grow more plants by SEED !! thanks for your time 🐝🐞🐤👍👍👍👍
Perhaps in spring!
Are they cut and come again?
No, they are pull and come again
Am a little confused. When I pull out the stems am I not supposed to something with the tubers - thanks
We never pull the stems out, we leave them in so they die down
No, don't touch the tubers. The plant makes enough stems by itself. Only the annual alstroemria cannot be treated like this.
How many plants in this clump ? Is it one or lots,thanks.
This clump was planted 11 years ago and it was several plants then but I didn't take note of how many. In time, of course, alstroemeria clumps up and spreads. Here it is kept in check by the lawn.
Gardening at Douentza thanks for your prompt reply. 👍
Perianual??? That means all year yes?
Perennial plants are ones that last at least two years. Many are deciduous and die back in winter to resprout in spring.
Can you replant the removed stems ? Thank you
No, you can't.
Gardening at Douentza so do you save and replant the seeds ?
Thanks

I think this is it...

Can we propagate using the stem which we have pulled out
No, you cannot propagate the stems.
@@GardeningatDouentza thanks for the video . how is the propagating done on the Alstroemerias? Also, do they seed for newer plants to grow ?
Thank you 👍🏼
You’re welcome 😊
