Alstromeria – Blooming
Q: I have some alstroemeria that are now blooming. Do they need to be deadheaded or just let the seed pods develop?
A: You can let the seed pods develop if you like but the plant spreads most vigorously from root expansion. If you give it partial shade and moist soil, alstroemeria can even be invasive.
