The Ixora Plant


The Ixora Plant is also known as Ixora ebracteata is a rare species from Thailand. It is a genus with over 350 species, some of which rival the hibiscus as garden shrubs. The white Ixora grows as a medium size shrub that has long stamens. These white Ixoras are fragrant filled flowers that are sweet smelling and refreshing. Although Ixora plants make great garden hedging, they can also grow indoors in pots, The Ixora plant thrives best in partially shaded or sunlit areas, well-drained, slightly acidic and nutritious organic mulch or compost soil. They respond well to light daily watering, as with most plants over wetting can do more harm than good. The Ixora plant has pointed leaves and appear in rounded clusters at the top of many branches. Some Ixoras have glossy more ovate leaves. 
Ixoras appear in may beautiful colors including, red. orange, and bright and light pink.

  2. The white ixora is unusual but just as pretty to look at. I guess this would also make a beautiful hedge.
