Ixora 'Maui Red' is a compact tropical shrub with glossy, dark green leaves and big, round clusters of red-orange flowers that bloom on and off from spring through fall. It grows about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide and attracts butterflies. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, or grow it in a patio container. Ixora does not handle frost: it can stay in the ground year-round in USDA zones 10-11, and in colder areas keep it in a pot and protect it or bring it indoors when temperatures drop below about 40 F. Container grown in a 3-gallon pot and hand packed in central Louisiana.
