Alstroemeria aurantiaca 'Golden King'

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray year-round, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then give a cold period in e.g. the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up again to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period. So do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly in the ground is also possible; in that case, simply let winter pass, and germination will occur in spring.
