It's quite sweet, Roland.
How tall does it grow? It looks like a "sprawler".

The flower-stem is 25 cm long
but the flower is to heavy
so it grows over the ground
I seeded it last year September

they germinate bad here
from 100 seeds only one plant
the same for most other ones I seeded

Next time I try it with glibberine

Roland ,(and others),i been given a little gibberellic acid to 'play' around with.
Having not used the stuff before i'm wondering how successful it will be on old Colchicum seed.

Cheers Dave.

Dave

I would do a test if you have enough seeds
one without glibberine
a weak and a stronger solution

I have bad experience
seeding total over 800 seeds in 10 varieties
I have just a few plants
maybe you need fresh seeds ?

from the 100 seeds from Alstroemeria umbellata
not a single germinated  Sad

Showing some really nice variations in the genus, Michael and Roland.

Not knowing much about the hardy alstroemerias, I find the A. philippii var. philippii particularly fetching with its undulating feathered petal edges and bluish anthers.

My one attempt at growing Alstroemeria umbellata from seed was a failure, too. Sad
