This unique Dwarf Indian Hawthorn shrub is well known for its beautifully decorative snow-white flowers with a pink shadow, glossy evergreen foliage, and naturally rounded shape.
The delicately beautiful Indian Hawthorne plant is a compact broadleaf flowering shrub that is originally from southern China. Hawthorn is of the family rosaceae (aka the rose family).
The ‘Alba’ variety will grow clusters of fragrant pink and white blooms intermittently from spring through summer. Dark pink flowers are then followed by dark, bluish-black berries that persist through winter.
The Rhaphiolepis indica shrub features glossy, dark green foliage that remains attractive all year long during spring and fall. The leaves turn bright red or bronze when the weather drops giving it excellent fall color.
Hawthorn shrubs have a mounded form and are commonly used in herbal medicine. The hawthorn fruit is edible and sometimes used to treat high blood pressure and other heart and blood vessel-related illnesses. There are side effects to using hawthorne so please do your research and consult a doctor before doing anything!
The dwarf pink Indian Hawthorn tree makes an excellent low hedge, as a backdrop for a border, or as a foundation planting or mass plantings. The flowering shrub is also a good plant for coastal gardens as it has a high salt spray tolerance and moderate drought tolerance. You can even plant this popular evergreen as an accent plant in your garden.
