IXORA

Native to Asia, Ixora plants are actually small shrubs that grow in subtropical regions, making them suitable for outdoor growth in the country. Started and grown year-round outdoors, Ixora plants feature large clusters of red, yellow, white, or orange flowers that emerge like puffballs from the evergreen leaves continuously throughout the year. They are relatively easy to grow outdoors under the right conditions, keeping an Ixora plant happy and blooming inside can be a challenge even for an experienced gardener. In either location, the plant will grow slowly, so patience is key if you’re hoping for an oversized shrub.
