Peruvian lilly also called Alstroemeria (Loughborough LE11)

I got this plant free a few months ago as it was dying and the shop didn't know what it was! I thought it had finished for the summer and just repotted it in good compost and left it outside. It has grown well and flowered again! I believe you can put them in the ground but they lose their leaves over winter and I believe they need mulching to survive winter, that means covering the area with mulch such as more compost, straw, composted bark etc. You don't cover the top/crown of the plant as it could rot but leave a space between the crown and the mulch. Or you could keep it in a pot but put somewhere sheltered for winter. I believe they are vulnerable to slugs so you would need to protect with wool or wool pellets. But you can look up how to care for it on Google of course! I don't really have much space for it, I only collected it because I felt sorry for it! If anyone is interested let me know asap. Unfortunately it would have ho be collected today as I am away tomorrow.
