Description

Indian Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica) is a compact, evergreen shrub cherished for its rounded form, glossy, dark green leaves, and showy clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of pink or white. Native to southern China and other parts of Asia, this shrub has become popular in gardens for its low-maintenance nature and its consistent, year-round appeal. In spring, Indian Hawthorn produces dense clusters of blooms that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, and as the season progresses, the flowers give way to small, blue-black berries that birds enjoy.

Indian Hawthorn typically grows to a manageable size of 3 to 6 feet in height and width, making it ideal for small hedges, foundation plantings, and container gardening. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and is hardy in USDA zones 7-10. This shrub prefers well-draining soil and has good tolerance to drought, salt, and urban pollution, making it versatile for various landscape settings, including coastal areas.

Requiring little care, Indian Hawthorn benefits from occasional pruning to shape or control size, usually done after its blooming period to preserve flower buds for the next season. Its resistance to pests and diseases, combined with its ornamental beauty, makes Indian Hawthorn a favorite for low-maintenance landscapes. Perfect for borders, mixed beds, or as a standalone accent, Indian Hawthorn provides a year-round visual interest with minimal upkeep, adding color and structure to gardens with its blooms, berries, and dense foliage.

Sky Pencil Holly’s unique, upright shape makes it perfect for flanking doorways, lining walkways, adding height to mixed borders, or creating privacy screens.
