DESCRIPTION
Rhaphiolepis indica, commonly known as Indian Hawthorn, is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its dense, glossy green foliage and seasonal floral display.

Originating from regions in China and other parts of Asia, Indian Hawthorn is widely cultivated for its versatility in design, thriving in coastal and urban settings. It is popular as a low-maintenance hedge, ground cover, or container plant. Its resilience to salt spray and drought makes it a reliable choice for gardens in challenging conditions​.
