West Indian Jasmine (Ixora)

Ixora is a perennial evergreen tree or shrub. Depending on the species, this plant can reach from 4 to 6 feet in height (1.2-1.8 m) and 3 to 5 feet (0.9-1.5 m) in width. With a bit of care, it can grow much smaller as a houseplant.

Ixora plants come in many different forms including shrubs, ground covers, and trees. Perfect for warm climates, Ixora plants can be grown as climbers as well.

Ixora is usually a dense, multi-branched plant. Its foliage consists of leathery, ovate, dark green leaves that can measure from 3 to 6 inches (7.6-15.2 cm) in length.

Although Ixora may bloom all year round, it is most likely to produce flowers throughout the summer months. Ixora plants exhibit large flower clusters that can appear in different shades of white, cream, yellow, red, pink, orange, and even bright green.
