Ixia - New Ixias from Holland
A few years ago Lambley imported a selection of cut flower varieties of Ixia from Dutch bulb growers. They are all free flowering bulbs producing 50cm tall wiry stems covered with blooms. Happy in any sunny well drained position, drier rather than wetter, they will flower for several weeks from the end of October.
