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.
