Ixia maculata- African corn lily
APPEARANCE : & Lively mix of red, pink, yellow and white flowers with dark centres. Slender tall stalks and grassy leaves.
USE FOR : Plant below deciduous trees, in rockeries, or group closely in pots and baskets for bright spring flowering colour.
CLIMATE: Frost free to sub-tropical. Native to South Africa
CARE: Once planted, water the soil to set the bulb in place. An occasional light watering is all that's needed until the first flowers appear. Water and feed weekly or if the soil becomes dry, give a good deep water (bulbs are generally at least 5 cms below the surface). Once flowering is finished leave plants to die back, it's not the prettiest sight but don't be tempted to trim the yellowing foliage. The nutrients are being drawn back into the bulbs for next year. When the bulbs die back completely remove spent foliage and leave in place for next season.
Contains 15 bulbs.
