Ixora Taiwanese Orange

Ixora taiwanensis

ixora taiwanese orange

Also known as: Dwarf Ixora, Jungle Geranium, Flame of the Woods

Native to Taiwan, this dwarf ixora is one of the most compact and reliable flowering shrubs you can get. Its dense, bushy mound of small glossy green leaves creates a clean backdrop for bursts of bright orange flower clusters made up of dozens of tiny star-shaped florets. These vivid blooms appear nearly year-round in warm climates, and the plant naturally stays compact, making it as easy to maintain as it is colorful. A favorite of butterflies and hummingbirds, it brings cheerful, long-lasting color to any sunny space.
