Rhaphiolepis indica ‘Snow Maiden’ (Snow Maiden Indian Hawthorn)

Rhaphiolepis indica ‘Snow Maiden’ is a compact, hardy evergreen shrub widely used for low hedging and border planting. It features glossy dark green leaves with a slight twist, often flushed with copper tones when new growth emerges, adding subtle seasonal colour to the garden.

In summer, and intermittently in warmer climates, it produces soft-scented white flowers followed by small dark berries. Its neat, naturally compact growth habit makes it ideal for low-maintenance gardens, forming an attractive, tidy hedge or foundation planting with minimal pruning.
