Sphenostigma coelestinum Very Rare 'Gulftide' is hard to beatBartram's Ixia is a very rare native bulb with grass like leaves and producing for a few hours each morning in May beautiful blue 2 inch flowers on 18 inch stems. This legendary plant was praised by William Bartram in the 1770's but probably never offered by nurseries until Woodlanders made it available. It is native to moist pinelands and sunny seepage areas in northeastern Florida where it is very localized and difficult to spot if not in flower.
