Ixia Mabel
Ixia Mabel is covered in deep pink flowers on stems that make very good cut flowers. They like full sun, and a dry well draining soil although they need some moisture while in growth.
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.
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
