Ixora coccinea (Flame of the Woods)

Ixora coccinea, the Flame of the Woods or Jungle Geranium, is a magnificent, long-blooming tropical shrub that produces dense, rounded clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of scarlet, orange, red, pink, yellow, and white virtually throughout the year in warm conditions. Its glossy, deep-green foliage provides a rich, dark backdrop for the vivid blooms. It is a premier choice for formal hedges, foundation plantings, mixed tropical borders, and large container displays. It thrives in full sun and is a firm favourite in tropical landscape design across East Africa.
