Indian Hawthorne
Indian Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica) is an evergreen shrub commonly used in hedges, foundation plantings, and mass plantings. It is valued for its dense growth habit, glossy foliage, and clusters of pink or white flowers in spring. Indian Hawthorn performs well in Northeast Florida landscapes when planted in sunny locations with good air circulation.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to part sun
