Dwarf Ixora
Ixora coccinea ‘Nana’
Dwarf ixora is the hedging plant to use when you want a hedge that flowers. It stays naturally under 90 cm, holds glossy evergreen foliage year round, and carries tight domed clusters of orange, red, pink or yellow florets for most of the warm season.
It clips well and responds to a hard cut, so it works as a low formal hedge, a border edge or a mass planting. Plant at 45 cm centres for a continuous run.
- Naturally compact under 90 cm — no constant trimming needed
- Flowers through most of the warm season
- Clips well; plant at 45 cm centres for a low flowering hedge

How to look after your Dwarf Ixora
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Full sun for the heaviest flowering — six hours or more. In partial shade you get foliage and few blooms.
- Water
- Deeply twice a week in summer, weekly in winter. Let the top few centimetres dry between waterings.
- Humidity
- Ambient outdoor humidity is fine.
- Soil
- Well-draining garden soil or a loam-based container mix enriched with compost.
- Feeding
- High-phosphorus feed every 3 weeks through the flowering season to keep buds coming.
- Temperature
- 15–45°C. Most are heat-loving; protect from frost.
If something goes wrong
Healthy leaves but no flowers
Why it happens: Too little sun, or a nitrogen-heavy feed.
What to do: Move into full sun and switch to a high-phosphorus feed.
Buds forming then dropping before opening
Why it happens: Irregular watering or a sudden move.
What to do: Water on a steady schedule and leave the plant in one position while it is budding.
Sticky leaves and black sooty film
Why it happens: Aphids or scale, and the mould that grows on their honeydew.
What to do: Spray with neem oil weekly for three weeks, covering the leaf undersides.
