It's no wonder why, Ixoras are an easy-to-grow shrub that blooms almost continuously through the year, producing hydrangea-like heads of red, yellow, orange, or pink flowers. The shrub stays relatively small, too making it perfect for planting along walkways, to hide the foundation of your home, or mixing in landscape beds with annual and perennials.

Questions & Answers
How tall will it get?
The Ixora Maui plant typically matures to a height and width of around 3-4 feet, making it a manageable size for many gardens and landscapes.
When it says average shipping size 24 in does that mean once taken out the container from the bottom of the root and soil to the top? Or does that mean from the top of the soil and roots to the top of the plant?
Hi Chris, Thank you for your question. Please measure your plant from the bottom for the pot to the top of the plant.
What is the height and width of the plant at maturity? Highly doubt it’s 180” as listed.
Hi Smayo, Thank you for your question! Height at Shipping is 36in. Height once it reached maturity can be up to 120in
