Ixora 'Maui Red' is a tropical evergreen shrub admired for its brilliant clusters of fiery red flowers that bloom year-round in warm climates. Native to tropical Asia and widely grown in subtropical and tropical regions, this variety is part of the Ixora coccinea species, commonly known as jungle geranium or flame of the woods. The plant features glossy, leathery green leaves that contrast beautifully with the vivid red blooms, creating a striking display in garden beds, borders, or containers. 'Maui Red' typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, mounded shape that makes it ideal for low hedges or foundation plantings.

Ixora 'Maui Red' thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is best suited for USDA Zones 9 to 11, where it can flourish outdoors year-round. In cooler climates, it can be grown in containers and brought indoors during the winter. Regular watering, occasional feeding with an acid-loving plant fertilizer, and pruning to maintain shape will keep it healthy and blooming abundantly. In addition to its ornamental beauty, the vibrant flowers attract butterflies and pollinators, making it a lively and colorful addition to tropical or subtropical landscapes.
