Description
Ixia is often called 'Corn Lily'. However, its alternate name of 'Wand Flower' is far more fitting to its spikes filled with multiple small star-like blossoms in many summery colours. Be the fairy godmother to your garden and wave a few of these star-studded wands over it while wishing for a colourful late spring, early summer garden, and you will be sure to have your wish granted. Ixia’s small blooms come in a wide range of colours, including red, white, yellow and pink, each colour choosing to contrast a dark centre colour with paler petals!
