Full Sun to Part ShadeIxia bulbs are South African natives and among the showiest spring-flowering plants for bold, vibrant colour. They produce masses of starry blooms held on tall, wiry stems, creating an eye-catching display through spring and into early summer. Growing to around 80 to 100 cm tall, they’re brilliant for borders and cutting gardens, adding height without heaviness.

Ixia Bulbs are perfect for New Zealand’s hot climates, but can be grown in most areas if planted under roof overhangs to restrict water, while still allowing the full sun conditions.
Ixia’s should be planted in sheltered areas of the garden to avoid the flowers toppling over.
