» Ixia - Can I grow this one??

In response to Can I grow this one?? posted by Cottage_Garden:


Yes, it gets very hot where it grows and won't tolerate long periods of wet. I t will tolorate frost but not prolonged frosts.
Every place I've seen it grow, it has been dry, dusty, hot, arid, poor soil and sandy.
I had heard that you can get success in growing them planted in agricultural pipes standing up vertically, filled with sand. I think this stimulates warmth and good drainage, but I have never seen this method used myself.
