Mark Smyth asked, Does anyone know how hardy Ixia viridiflora is? Or to what zone it is hardy? I expect this will help Mark, who is in Ireland, which is very warm compared to where many of us live. I have some bulbs of Ixia viridiflora in a planter on my patio, and they have survived at least as low as 25 degrees F (about minus 4 C) in that situation, very wet in winter. They flowered quite well this summer. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon
