Ixora coccinea
Compact flowering shrub with vibrant red blooms, commonly used in Central Florida landscapes for borders and low hedges.
Care Overview
Dwarf Ixora is a low-growing evergreen shrub prized for its bright red flowers and tidy growth habit. It performs best in warm climates like Central Florida and adds year-round color when properly maintained.
Planting Tips
Plant in a sunny location with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Space plants about 2.5 to 3 feet apart for proper airflow. Avoid planting too deeply and mulch lightly to retain moisture.
Maintenance
Water regularly during establishment, then reduce once established. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape. Avoid alkaline soils, as they can cause nutrient deficiencies.
