- In this video, Byron Martin discusses Ixora. Commonly referred to as Jungle Geranium or Flame of the Woods, Ixora is a delightful tropical shrub recognized for its vibrant clusters of star-shaped flowers. Native to Asia and parts of the tropical Americas, these plants add a splash of color to any garden with their vivid red, orange, yellow, or pink blossoms. They thrive in well-draining soil, prefer full sun to partial shade, and need consistent moisture. Gardeners value Ixora not only for its beauty but also for its relatively low maintenance. Given its tropical origins, it is sensitive to frost and prefers warm climates or can be grown indoors in cooler regions. When planted in groups, Ixora creates a dazzling display, making it a favorite for borders, hedges, or as a stand-alone specimen. With regular pruning and feeding, this plant will reward you with a spectacular flowers throughout its long-blooming season.

Lovely Flowers ^~^
My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊

Hi from Kerala, South of India.😀 One of the variety is called Ashoka flowers. We grind it in food processor with grated coconut, little rice and to that add jaggery + 2 cloves of cardamom. Add water to make it in free flowing consistency and cook at low flame in a saucepan .As it becomes viscous, off the flame and yummy porridge as snack is ready.😋
It has sweet nectar.
when I was a child, it was my brother told me each flower has a sweet nectar.I liked it soo much.
In my country it is call bride bouquet. Home depot has some with the same color flower.
Love the bright orange flowers! Saw them used as landscape plants in Florida. Will pruning keep them compact and still allow them to flower? What time of year would you do that in the Northeast?
Yes, pruning will keep the size down although they are somewhat slow growing. Best time to prune is in late winter and early spring as they start to grow again coming out of winter.
Have you ever discussed clivia ? I have had one for over 20 years that never bloomed until I divided it and repotted about three years ago and fertilized it this spring. It rewarded me with a flat stalk the size of a broom handle with 11 trumpet shaped orange flowers. I water it less in the winter, but have no room to store it dormant. Plus I like looking at those shiny long leaves.
Where can one find these cultivars ???
