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.
