Bring a burst of tropical color to patios, garden beds, and sunny balconies with this farm-fresh Ixora from Costa Farms. Carefully grown and shipped at peak health, this shrub features leathery evergreen leaves and prolific bloom clusters that attract pollinators. Ship-ready in a premium 10-inch container at 2–3 feet tall, it arrives ready to plant or display for immediate landscape impact.
How much light does this Ixora need to thrive?
Ixora performs best in bright, direct sunlight—ideally six or more hours daily—to encourage consistent flowering and compact growth. In shaded spots the plant will survive but produce fewer blooms.
- Full sun exposure (6+ hours) boosts flowering
- Partial morning sun works if afternoon shade is provided
- Use as a patio focal point where sun is plentiful
What watering and soil conditions keep this plant healthy?
Maintain evenly moist, well-draining soil; Ixora dislikes standing water but does not tolerate prolonged drought. Regular watering during active growth keeps leaves glossy and supports continuous bloom cycles.
- Water until soil feels uniformly moist, not soggy
- Good drainage prevents root rot—pot with drainage holes
- Mulch in landscape beds to retain moisture and regulate temperature
Where can I place this Ixora in my landscape or home?
This shrub is versatile: a standout in Zone 10–11 landscapes and a seasonal showpiece elsewhere. In cooler climates, enjoy it outdoors through summer and bring it indoors during cold snaps to preserve foliage and blooms.
- Use as a colorful hedge, border, or specimen plant in tropical gardens
- Place in decorative containers on sunny patios and balconies
- Bring indoors before frost; place near bright windows for wintering

- Ships in a premium 10-inch pot, 2–3 feet tall for instant presence
