Ixora is a tropical flowering shrub known for its dense clusters of vibrant blooms and compact, mounded growth habit.
Ixora coccinea features glossy, deep green foliage paired with rounded clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in shades of red, orange, pink, and yellow. The blooms are held above the foliage in tight, dome-shaped heads, creating a bold, uniform display of color. It grows as a dense, branching shrub with a naturally compact to rounded form, making it well-suited for hedges, foundation plantings, containers, and patio use. In warm climates, it flowers repeatedly throughout the year, providing consistent color in high-light outdoor environments. Its structured habit and strong bloom presence make it a staple in tropical landscapes and designed plantings. This plant is widely used in tropical and subtropical landscapes for its continuous flowering, manageable size, and ability to deliver consistent, high-impact color.
