VERY RARE! Fragrant ixora - amazing rare plant with highly fragrant pinkish-white flowers. Almost all ixoras do best in acid soil, free from nematodes, a moist organic mix that is also well drained. Ixora can endure some salt spray on the wind. A common problem is our alkaline soils, especially near concrete and pools, causing poor health, poor foliage and poor blooming.
