Hardiness
Ipheion (Spring Starflower)
Robust and hardy, Ipheion (Spring Starflower) are small bulbous perennials with lovely star-shaped, sweet violet scented flowers borne on long slender scapes in mid to late spring. Blooming for up to 8 weeks, the dainty blossoms rise atop a cushion of narrow, pale, delicate and grass-like leaves. Regarded to be one of the easiest bulbs to grow
Gazania (Treasure Flower)
Native to South Africa, Gazanias (Treasure Flower or African Daisy) are showy tender perennials exhibiting brightly colored daisy-like flowers, up to 4 in. wide (10 cm), over a long blooming season. Ridiculously easy to grow, they tolerate drought, heat, and seacoast conditions, and grow well in most soils. Prized by gardeners for their dazzling colors, Gazanias are ideal plants to add drama to sun-baked sites with dry soil, where other plants would shrivel.
Hakonechloa macra (Hakone Grass)
Grown for its handsome and eye-catching foliage, Hakone Grass (Hakonechloa macra) is a long-lived, tough, ornamental grass that, unlike most grasses, loves moist shady conditions.
Plant Combination Ideas with Hakone Grass
While extraordinarily good-looking on its own, Hakone Grass however looks most stunning when planted with companion plants.
