Dwarf Indian Hawthorne's (raphiolepis indica) are low maintenance flowering evergreen shrubs that we use in every landscape plan we draw. The pink or white flowers are produced in abundance during spring making them an excellent substitute for azaleas in full sun. These are exceptionally drought tolerant plants. The foliage is evergreen.

We use Indian Hawthornes in foundation plantings and also use them as a border or in groups in sunny beds or on embankments.

There are certain varieties that have shown excellent tolerance to cold weather and disease resistance. 'Snow', 'Calisto', and 'Eleanor Tabor' are low-growing mounding varieties.

'Yedda' Dwarf Indian Hawthorne, or Raphiolepis umbelleta minor, is a more upright form producing pure white flowers against wavy dark green foliage. Yedda grows to about 4 to 5 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide..
