Babiana Mixed

Ideal for GARDEN and CONTAINER PLANTING


This African beauty called Babiana gives you beautiful spikes of color in mid-summer, and they’re hardy into Zone 4. Like miniature gladiolus, the plants have sword-shaped leaves and flowers of deepest blue, rich red and pure white. In general, they are easy to grow in a sunny spot with any reasonably drained soil. They need adequate watering during their winter growing season, but want drier conditions during summer when they are dormant.
