Ixia polystachya has
been dependable in gardens with reasonable drainage and warmer Winter
temperatures. This clump has been blooming each year for the last
20. Ixia polystachya tends to tip and may require some
support. I planted a small shrub over the top of the bulbs to
support the foliage. These bulbs will tolerate some Summer
water but tend to do best with little or no Summer help. Ixia
polystachya blooms mid-Spring in our area. The flowers are only open
during the brightest part of the day. Ixia polystachya has been
Winter hardy into the mid to upper 20's.
