Ixia Giant
M5694
Description
Also known as ‘wand flowers’, Ixia ‘Giant’ brings a magical touch with clusters of twinkling, starry, ivory-white flowers embellished with purple-maroon hearts. As its name suggests, this variety bears particularly sizeable blooms on tall stems.
Native to South Africa, these tender corms are gratifying and easy to grow – simply offer protection from frost and plant on free-draining soil in plenty of sunshine.
‘Giant’ is ideal for patio planters, where the pretty blooms can be admired up close and moved to a sheltered location over winter. Renowned for their superiority as cut flowers, Ixia have an excellent vase life for delightful floral arrangements.
