Corn Lily 'Yellow Emperor', African Corn Lily 'Yellow Emperor', Wand flower 'Yellow Emperor'
Ixia ‘Yellow Emperor’ (Corn Lily) is a cormous perennial boasting loose spikes of sunny yellow, star-shaped flowers adorned with a wine-red eye. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the elegant blossoms, up to 20 per stem, open nearly flat in full sun, but remain cupped or closed on cloudy days. They are borne on wiry stems and rise above the grasslike leaves. This little bulb from South Africa is great for use in beds, borders for fresh cut flowers, and naturalized in prairies or meadows.
