Ixia 
(African Corn Lily) 
Ixias are exceedingly free flowering and are very graceful, bearing on wiry stems long racemes of blooms 
and they propagate with amazing rapidity. They are invaluable for cutting, easily grown in pots and 
produce a combination of colours rarely seen in any other family of plants. Plant 3 inches deep and 
cover well against frost in winter.
