Ixia The Giant
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 The Giant has many starry flowers in spike, creamy with a dark blotch at the centre.
Planting instructions
Plant them in a 5" (12cm) deep hole 3" (8cm) apart, or 10/12 per square 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.
