Ixia Castor
Ixias, native to Southern Africa, grow from small summer dormant corms. They emerge too early in the year to be really described as hardy, but they will take a small degree of frost. These African Corn Lilies are restricted to warmer gardens or warmer positions within gardens, but they can make very colourful pot plants. Ixia Castor has many starry flowers in spike, violet-pink with a dark blotch in the centre. The long narrow leaves are quite tough.
Planting instructions
Plant them in a 5" (12cm) deep hole 3" (8cm) apart, or 10/12 per sq foot. May June; 16" (40cm). They need frost protection by deeper planting or covering in the winter. In deep pots filled with John Innes No 2 compost, you would need 10 corms for a 12" (30cm) pot
