- Native to South Africa, this star-shaped flower symbolizes ‘happiness’ in the flower language. Our Ixia Flower Bulbs produce scintillating blossoms with beautiful spots and patches in the middle.
- Ixia is an exotic iris family member that creates bright flowers with contrasting spots and blotches. These South African natives thrive in the hot, dry climes of the southwest, but they may also be grown in other warm regions if planted beneath roof overhangs to keep water out while enabling the plants to get the full sun they need.
- For the finest visual impact, Ixias should be planted in groupings, borders, or pots; they also make excellent cut flowers. Flower bulbs are hardy, easy-to-grow cookies, but they despise having their feet wet: a bulb that is ‘bathing’ in water will decay in no time. So stay away from damp soil at all costs.

- Did you know that gloxinia can be grown as house plants? True! Gloxinia are fabulous gift plants AND can be spectacular house plants if you give them proper care.
- A few years ago, a gloxinia flowering houseplant (Sinningia speciosa) was considered a perennial. The plants would bloom and then die back. After a period of dormancy, the plant would regrow, delighting its owner with a fresh flush of big, velvety flowers.
- Todays gloxinias are hybrids that are bred to quickly produce a large number of blossoms. These gloxinias produce an outstanding display for about two months, but once the flowers fade, the plant rarely comes back because it invests all its energy into flowers rather than sturdy roots. Therefore, these plants are best grown as annuals, and since they are discarded after the bloom cycle, gloxinia flower care focuses on keeping the plant looking fresh while it is in bloom.
