應用 Application

葉片緻密的矮性品種群,可以使用盆徑7寸以上的盆器栽培,適合居家陽台種植欣賞。庭院使用多以多株叢植為灌叢或列植為分隔用的矮籬。因為生長強健,較矮仙丹耐寒,是市場上主流品種群。

A dwarf variety with dense foliage can be cultivated in pots over 7 inches diameter and display at house terraces. They can be also planted in cluster as shrubs or in rows as boundary hedgerows in courtyards. It’s more vigorous and hardier than Ixora williamsii on so now is a mainstream species in the market.
