A compact variety of the Rhaphiolepis indica, adored for its dense, dark green foliage and beautiful clusters of white flowers. It has a robust and low-maintenance nature, while the glossy leaves and fragrant, bell-shaped flowers add appeal to the garden, while also attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Care Considerations: | While it is drought-resistant once established, regular watering during the first growing season will help establish a robust root system. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning after flowering can encourage denser growth and maintain a neat appearance. |
