Hi I received some bare root Alstroemerias, which seem to be part of the tuber, just not sure whether to plant standing up or lying down (the roots I mean, not me!), some do seem to have started grow at one end.
I see no one has answered your query @Gary_L67. I've never bought them bare root, but I doubt it would make too much difference what you did. I'd be inclined to lay them flat [horizontal] because that new growth will grow upwards/downwards depending on whether it's shoots or roots. Probably roots.
I'm sure someone will confirm if that's correct though, and advise better if not .
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
