Rhaphiolepis indica

 

The Oriental Pearl Indian Hawthorne demonstrates exceptional environmental resilience, thriving across diverse conditions including coastal exposures, salt spray, wind stress, heat, drought, and frost while adapting to variable soil types. Spring flowering produces abundant crystalline white bloom clusters punctuated by prominent pink stamens, creating striking contrast against glossy dark green foliage. This cultivar's moderate 3-4 foot mature dimensions and refined growth habit accommodate multiple landscape applications—from formal and informal hedging to coastal gardens, container cultivation, mass plantings, and border installations. Its low water requirements and minimal maintenance demands make it an outstanding choice for water-conscious gardeners and challenging sites where conventional ornamentals struggle. An exceptionally versatile specimen combining aesthetic refinement with practical performance across diverse growing environments.

Joseph's Take

Joseph's Take

We currently have three Indian Hawthorne, Elenor Taber is the pink bloomer. Oriental Pearl and Snow Cap are white but Snow Cap's leaves turn red in winter and it can handle colder weather. I like Snow Cap the best but have been known to use Elenor Taber if Im looking for pink.
