Noteworthy Characteristics
‘Maui Yellow’ Ixora is a compact, tropical evergreen shrub. It is covered with large, leathery, dark green elliptical leaves. It produces an abundance of round flower clusters comprised of lots of four-petaled blooms with long floral tubes. The brightly colored flowers are sunny golden- to orange-yellow and are attractive to butterflies. Plants will tolerate full sun but do much better with some shade in the afternoon. Maybe that's why one of the common names it goes by is "Flame of the Woods"?
Uses
Where hardy outdoors, Yellow Maui Ixoras heavy branching and compact habit make it an ideal choice for hedges, borders, and foundation plantings in partially shaded locations, and is also lovely in a pot as a houseplant. Where not winter hardy, it can be grown as a houseplant or outdoors as an annual in beds or as a container plant that can be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse when low temperatures drop below 55 degrees.
