Alstroemeria 'Rome'

Alstroemeria ‘Rome’ has bright, cerise-pink flowers with darker streaks and contrasting grey-green anthers. It’s ideal for growing in a mixed ornamental border or as part of a container display, and makes an excellent cut flower. Its blooms can last for up to two weeks in water.

Grow Alstroemeria ‘Rome’ in a sheltered spot in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Stake them so they don’t collapse in the wind or rain, and keep picking the flowers for cutting, or deadheading – pull from the root and they will continue to flower for months. Not fully hardy, mulch for the first two winters to protect the rootball.
