Ixora Prince of Orange

Ixora Prince of Orange sounds very posh and he certainly looks regal with those big glossy green leaves and balled clusters of orange summertime flowers that appear pale before maturing into a deeper rich orange.

Ixora Prince of Orange is a compact shrub that won’t grow out of control, and he’s pretty hardy too despite the delicate little four-petalled flowers that pollinators go crazy for.

This lush flowering chap suits a low hedge, a small outside border or a larger border if he’s mass planted. On the deck or poolside, at the front door, or on view through the window this dependable little shrub perks up a tired container.

Give him a yearly application of fertiliser and spread some mulch around the roots to prevent weed competition and to retain moisture. The food will also boost his colours for maximum impact.

• What to use me for: I make a really pretty small hedge in a tropical/subtropical garden or I brighten the deck in a pot.

• I grow to: A compact height and width of one metre - maximum.

• Where to place me: A partly shaded or sunny position in the garden suits me down to the ground.

• How far to space me: For a tight hedge 75cms.

• Soil Conditions:  Well-drained soil please - I don’t like a soggy bottom
