Rhaphiolepis ‘Snow Maiden’ Indian Hawthorn

What to use me for: low formal hedge, border, edging, foundation planting, feature pot and coast sites—I’m heat, humidity and salt tolerant..

I grow to: around 0.5-1m tall × 0.5-1m wide; dense and rounded

Features: Glossy deep-green leaves with bronze new growth; heavy flush of white fragrant flower clusters late winter–spring; clips crisply and stays compact.

Where to place me: Full sun to part shade with good airflow. I’m excellent near the coast and in warm, humid suburbs.

How far to space me: For a tight hedge plant 3–5 per metre (about 20–35 cm apart). For borders, 40–60 cm centres.

Soil Conditions: Free-draining soil (sandy or loam). Slightly acidic–neutral is best. Avoid waterlogging.

Extra-Care: Water well until established; then I’m drought-tolerant. Lightly shear after flowering to keep me tidy. Feed in spring with a slow-release fertiliser and mulch to keep roots cool.
