🌿 Ixora 'Super King'
Ixora coccinea 'Super King'
A bold, standout tropical shrub, Ixora 'Super King' produces exceptionally large, dense clusters of vivid red blooms — noticeably bigger than standard Ixora varieties — nearly year-round in Miami's warm climate. Heat-loving, glossy-leafed, and one of the most visually commanding Ixora selections available for South Florida landscape beds, hedges, and specimen plantings.
🌿 Perennial in South Florida
🌍 Native Origin: Tropical Asia
☀️ Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; produces the most prolific, oversized red bloom clusters and the most vigorous upright growth with 4 or more hours of direct sunlight daily — also adapts well to bright partial shade where it continues flowering reliably with a slightly looser habit in South Florida's warm climate.
💧 Water: Moderate and consistent water needs; Ixora performs best with regular, even moisture — water when the top inch of soil dries out and mulch around the root zone to retain moisture; consistent irrigation supports the most prolific and continuous oversized red bloom production in South Florida's warm climate.
📏 Size: Grows 4–6 feet tall with a bold, well-branched, upright shrub habit and glossy dark green foliage; responds well to light pruning to maintain a desired hedge height or specimen shape and to encourage fresh branching and the next prolific flush of the oversized vivid red bloom clusters.
🌸 Bloom Time: Blooms nearly year-round in Miami's warm climate with exceptionally large, dense clusters of vivid red flowers that are noticeably bigger and bolder than standard Ixora — 'Super King' is selected for its impressively oversized bloom display, making it one of the most visually dramatic Ixora varieties for South Florida landscape designs.
🌱 Landscape Use: Outstanding as a bold landscape specimen, dramatic flowering hedge, statement border shrub, or container centerpiece; the oversized vivid red bloom clusters pair beautifully with deep green and purple foliage companions — Podocarpus, Loropetalum, and Alternanthera — for a rich, high-impact South Florida tropical landscape color composition.
💡 Casaplanta Tip: Plant in Coast of Maine Bar Harbor Blend for rich, well-draining soil that supports vigorous growth, and feed every 4–6 weeks with Espoma Flower Tone to keep the nonstop oversized vivid red bloom clusters of 'Super King' coming and the glossy foliage lush in your South Florida landscape year-round.
