From early summer, the South African Corn Lily throws up sprays of starry, white blooms on slender, upright stems. Ixia spotlight? is a particularly attractive variety with contrasting burgundy blotches at the centre of each bloom, & raspberry pink stripes to the reverse of the petals. These half-hardy bulbs thrive in sunny borders, greenhouses, containers, or in a sheltered spot at the base of a wall. Simply lift Ixia bulbs each autumn & store them through the coldest months, before replanting in the following spring.
