This Ixora can be used as a hedge. The leaves are not too large to be a good hedge material and when it is pruned  most of the stem tips are not cut, allowing the flowers to emerge. 

Not all ixoras are grown for flower color. Some are grown for there lingering scent. They thrive well in the tropical shade, produces huge beautiful blooms on a 4-5 foot bush. Excellent for shaded front door porches or backyard sitting areas

Almost all ixoras do best in full sun, acid soil, free from nematodes, a moist organic mix that is also well drained.
