About Ixora (Desi Pink)
Ixora Desi Pink is known for its large, rounded bunches of deep pink flowers (technically long-lasting sepals rather than petals). The sweet nectar draws plenty of butterflies, and this variety is a compact, multi-branched evergreen shrub that stays in colour for a long time.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight; blooming slows in full shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile, acidic-to-neutral soil with good drainage.
- Water: When the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; water morning or evening.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a pot (minimum ~30 cm) or the ground. Suits edges, borders, hedges, shrub beds and screening - larger plantings can even be trained as a compact hedge. Outdoor, bright light to full sun.
Care
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month; add a phosphorus-based feed monthly for heavier flowering.
- Pruning: Minimal - remove only damaged or dead growth.
Flowering
Reaches 1-2 metres at maturity. Flowering typically starts within a month of purchase and continues through the year, attracting butterflies along the way.
Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
