Ixora Gold Fire is a striking tropical evergreen shrub prized for its large clusters of glowing golden-yellow flowers that stand out beautifully against deep green, glossy foliage. Flowering is most prolific through the warmer months, bringing long-lasting colour and a lush, resort-style feel to gardens and outdoor living spaces.
Naturally dense and compact, Gold Fire is ideal for low hedging, feature planting, mass displays and large pots. It performs exceptionally well in coastal and subtropical conditions and is a reliable choice for adding year-round structure with seasonal bursts of colour. The nectar-rich blooms also attract butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.
Tip: For best results, plant Ixora ‘Gold Fire’ in free-draining, slightly acidic soil and position it in a warm, sunny to lightly shaded location. Avoid lime, mushroom compost and concrete run-off, as alkaline conditions can reduce flowering and cause leaf yellowing. Regular feeding with an acid-loving fertiliser will encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
