The Basics
Sunny, orange flower clusters decorate the glossy, dark green foliage of this tropical shrub originally from Hawaii. Ideal as a landscape item in hedges, borders, and fountain plantings where hardy; and fabulous as a container specimen in cooler climates. The Needs Amount of Sunlight: Full Sun / Partial Shade Amount of Water: Water Regularly Soil Conditions: Acidic; Well drained Cold Hardiness Zone: 9-11 The Care Prune Ixora after blooming slows in late autumn or anytime the shrub looks untidy. Prune each shoot down to just one bud or prune the shrub as needed to create the size and shape desired. Ixora shrubs tolerate pruning well and can be trimmed back by several inches without harm. However, many gardeners prefer to leave the shrub unsheared for a more natural appearance. |
