How to grow
Ixia is easy to grow and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Plant bulbs directly where they’re to flower, spacing them 5–10cm apart and planting 5cm deep with the pointed tip facing up, then water well. Keep soil lightly moist as shoots emerge, watering during the growing season only when the soil begins to dry. Flowering occurs in around 120–150 days, with tall stems ideal for cutting. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed next season’s blooms, and leave bulbs in the ground to naturalise.
