Rhaphiolepis indica - Indian Hawthorn

Market price from $7.25 to $24.50

Rhaphiolepis indica is an exceptional centerpiece in any landscape design. Commonly known as the Indian Hawthorn, this broadleaf evergreen shrub naturally is renowned for its stunning visual interplay of dark, leathery foliage and delicate star-shaped blossoms. Standing proud at heights and widths of 4-6 feet, its dense, lustrous leaves offer year-round interest, setting the stage for a captivating floral performance of pink or white bouquets in early spring. The dramatic entrance of blue-black berries in the fall, continuing their display throughout winter, not only enriches your garden's aesthetics but also beckons a diverse range of birds. As resilient as it is beautiful, the Indian Hawthorn flourishes in full sun to part shade conditions, requiring low to moderate water usage. Its adaptability extends to withstand drought and heat, earning it a place of honor as a reliable and low maintenance option for borders, hedges, and foundation plantings. Eventually, the Indian Hawthorn isn't just planting a shrub—it's an investment in a robust and dynamic addition to your green spaces.
