Alstromeria prefers to be grown in evenly moist, well-drained, rich humus, but it will tolerate drier soils. Choose a sheltered site in either full sun or partial shade, preferably at the base of a south or west-facing wall. Don't worry if it comes up later in spring than your other perennials. This is normal for Alstroemeria. It grows quickly once it emerges to make up for its late start.

Mulch with organic material in the winter to prevent frost heaving.
