Hello dear all,
First : sorry for my english...

Im growing many species of Alstromeria in zone 9, in brittany france. And i
have A. Pelegrina flowering in this time and A. Violacea. Im growing many
of them directly in the ground inside my green house.
I Saw A. Pelegrina growing outside in the botanical garden of edinburgh
After a hard winter and resist under 10 celsius degree.
In my greenhouse she is growing all winter but in edinburgh she start
growing now.

Best regard.

I have eight plants, so I will make up eight pots with varying amounts of
sand and rocks - maybe I can water some with seawater. I have one family
member who lives on the shore, but unfortunately it is too rocky and won’t
allow for plants on its shallow beach.

I was there with Diane when we saw the wonderful expanse of this plant

on Pichidangui's rocky beach, within the spray of the surf. I doubt very
much that it is frost-hardy, as I've never seen it away from the coast. I
think it's one of the species involved in the "Princess Lily" group of
hybrids, which have similar thick, shiny green leaves, short stature, and
well-marked flowers. As for soil, it appears to grow in rocks of various
sizes, and I assume with sand down below. There are some other coastal
alstros that enjoy similar conditions, such as Alstroemeria werdermannii.
Having no really frost-free place for such large plants, I haven't tried
growing them.
