From early summer, the South African Corn Lily throws up sprays of starry, white blooms on slender, upright stems. Ixia ?Spotlight? is a particularly attractive variety with contrasting burgundy blotches at the centre of each bloom, and raspberry pink stripes to the reverse of the petals. These half-hardy bulbs thrive in sunny borders, greenhouses, containers, or in a sheltered spot at the base of a wall. Simply lift Ixia bulbs each autumn and store them through the coldest months, before replanting in the following spring. Height: 40cm (16). Spread: 20cm (8).
Bright Ixia flowers will add a splash of colour to your garden from late spring. An easy to grow bulb.
