Planting ixia tubers

Ixia tubers should be planted in the spring in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Wait until the last frost has passed and make sure that the soil is not too wet. Then the tubers may rot. The tubers reproduce in the same way as the gladiolus. From one tuber, one or more new tubers and beads will develop.

History of the ixia

Originally the ixia comes from South Africa. The name Ixia stems from the Greek ixiós and stands for mistletoe or bird's glue, which is probably the name given to the sticky juice the tubers contain. Linnaeus described the Ixia as early as 1737, when he was working with Clifford at the Hartenkamp, Heemstede, to study his plant collection. The species he described now belong to Aristea and Belamcanda. The Ixia as we know it was only introduced to us in 1780. The present-day cultivars have arisen from crosses. The main parents are Ixia maculata and Ixia columnaris.
