Ixia Mixed Hybrids (Ixia)

Ixia Mixed Hybrids: A Kaleidoscope of Spring Stars

Ixia Mixed Hybrids offer a vibrant assortment of the African Corn Lily. These cormous perennials produce wiry, 12-18 inch stems bearing loose spikes of star-shaped flowers in a dazzling range of colors: white, cream, yellow, orange, pink, red, and purple, often with contrasting dark centers. The narrow, grass-like foliage appears in winter/spring.

Mediterranean Climate Bulbs

Plant corms in autumn in full sun, sharply drained soil. They require a dry summer dormancy. In wet or cold climates, grow in containers and store dry. They are spectacular in mass plantings, rock gardens, and as cut flowers. The mixed strains provide a long-lasting, colorful spring display. Not frost-hardy below zone 8.
