Ixia paniculata 'Eos'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
So-called after the Greek goddess of the dawn, ‘Eos��� is a new addition to my summer bulb wishlist
These South African natives produce a profusion of curious star-shaped flowers in apricot tones held aloft tall, wiry stems from May into June.
Plant in full sun in a well-drained spot. Offset their peachy tones amongst dark plums and purples. Makes a beautiful, unusual cut flower too.

Ixia bulbs are not frost hardy, so lift them from the ground in autumn to store over winter.
