Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A deliciously delectable peachy-keen selection of Ixia longituba with larger flowers, we love it for the sophisticated color it brings to the Spring garden. Presented atop long, wiry stems, the blooms wave and sway with the breeze. Drought tolerant once established, it will cheerfully spread to form small (polite) colonies. Great cut flower! From the South African Cape Province. To 18"-24" tall by 6"-9" wide.
