    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Ixias embody so many of the qualities we love about South African bulbs – they naturalize politely, make great cut flowers, don’t need a Winter chill to thrive & can grow in poor soil. This garden hybrid has won us over with its way-sweet berry-centered, buttery yellow flowers. Blooming stems grow to 2’, with wiry delicacy & move gracefully with the breeze. Great in rock gardens, dry gardens, pots, cottage gardens & etceteras – it’s versatile! Leaves die back in Summer, but will return when the rains do.
