Ixia Mixed

The ixia brings a different quality to the summer bulb garden — slender, wiry stems carrying starry a generous sweep of mixed tones flowers in February to August that open wide in full sunshine and close at night, giving the planting a daily rhythm of opening and closing that feels genuinely alive. Native to South Africa, it thrives in warm, sunny, well-drained spots and in containers, where its vivid mixed colours create an effect that is both orderly and joyful. Long-flowering and easy to maintain where conditions suit, it rewards the gardener who plants it in the right place with weeks of starry colour and the quiet pleasure of a flower that seems to know exactly what the summer garden needs. Dutch-grown and selected by BLOM for vigorous corms.
