Ixora coccinea is a densely growing evergreen tropical to subtropical shrub that produces brightly coloured, eye-catching blooms with spherical ball shapes. Red, white, pink, and yellow are just a few of the colours. Typically reaching a height of 2 metres, it is perfect for use as a border, hedge, or for mass plantings of vibrant flowers. enjoys a humid climate and prefers a sunny location, though it will thrive in partial shade. For optimal results, apply slow release fertiliser in the spring and prune regularly. Mealy bugs and sooty mould are potential threats.
