Country of origin: USA Maui Sunset Ixora will mature into a low growing oval shrub at about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall. It has the typical pointed, ovoid shaped leaves of the Ixora in a pretty olive toned green. The foliage grows dense and tight, and the new growth is a pretty bronze color.
Bright multi-shaded blooms, ranging in color from butter yellow to peach, appear in the late spring to early summer and repeat until the nights drop out of the 70's. The bloom is made up of many small star shaped florets, and generally will have 2 to 3 cluster heads per stem.
Makes an excellent flowering hedge, accent, or addition to mixed perennial beds, or can be grown as a potted plant.
