Ixora Dwarf Red

Ixora Dwarf Red is a beautiful compact dwarf Ixora with bright red flowers that won’t grow out of control. It only reaches a firey 50cms tall and 30cms wide – that’s about half the height of a standard Ixora.

This compact shrub has glossy dark green leaves and spectacular red balls of bloom in the summertime. He’s a trusted tropical style favourite that’s pretty hardy despite the delicate four-petalled flowers that pollinators go crazy for.

This lush flowering chap suits a low hedge, a small outside border or a larger one if he’s mass planted. On the deck or poolside, at the front door, or on view through the window this dependable little shrub perks up a tired container.

Give him a yearly application of fertiliser and spread some mulch around the roots to prevent weed competition and to retain moisture. The food will also boost his colours for maximum impact.

• What to use me for: I make a really pretty small hedge in a tropical/subtropical garden or I brighten the deck in a pot.

• I grow to: A compact height and width of 50cms by 30cms

• Where to place me: A partly shaded or sunny position in the garden suits me down to the ground.

• How far to space me: As a tight hedge 50cms.

• Soil Conditions:  Well-drained soil please – I don’t like a soggy bottom
