Alstroemeria

Years ago I had alstromeria outdoors year round in my New Jersey garden.
The site was close to the house so the basement probably provided some
additional warmth / protection. Musa basjoo thrives there, cut back and
winter covered with leaves.
The alstromeria is no longer. Voles ate them one winter.

I've looked up southwest Michigan as 6b and you're right, that seems a
bit cold, though continental snow covered could mean all the
difference here. One could try with the old A. lightu hybrids, they
should be able to take a little more cold than the modern colorful
varieties.

I believe you are outside the hardiness range for alstroemeria; which
means you will have to replace it each year unless you grow it in
pots and give it winter protection.
Many mail order nurseries sell it including Digging Dog Nursery in
California, and Edelweiss Farms in Oregon.
