These plantings may not be irrigated so only the toughest should be planted. Spider lilies used in medians in Fort Lauderdale have done well. Ruellias, crinum lilies, cardboard palm, Fakahatchee grass, and others offer the promise of minimum maintenance for the entry landscape. I like white as a color in landscaping. It is particularly effective with night lighting for evening entertaining.
Growers report a light fragrance at night which is another asset.
This is a good grower capable of attaining 6-8 feet under good conditions. Remember that ixoras and other plants bloom at the branch tips. Do not use the plant as a hedge as you will cut off all the flowers, defeating the whole purpose. I see this plant serving nicely as a background or screening plant allowed to grow naturally. These ixoras are not impressive for the first year or two but fill in nicely as they age.
