Ixora can bring the colorful look of the tropics straight into your landscape! Native to Southern India and Sri Lanka, Ixora coccinea (botanical name) are fast becoming one of the most popular shrubs for our area. There are more than 400 varieties, and when they bloom, they feature a wide range of colors that can transform any garden. Some of the most common colorful blooms include red, yellow, orange, white and pink. These colors contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage, so we love to plant them in any yard that could use a splash of vibrant color. These medium sized shrubs are a fine choice for our area as they can take the heat as well as the humidity we have here in Houston.

Ixora shrubs require very little maintenance, so they are an excellent choice for anyone to grow and are also perfect for any low-maintenance landscape. For the best-looking blooms, grow them in a spot that gets plenty of full sun exposure and give them low to moderate water once established. Since these plants respond well to shearing, we also like to use them as an attractive low hedge!
