Description: Rhaphiolepis indica 'Spring Pearl' is a hardy, evergreen shrub known for its lush, dark green foliage and profuse display of soft pink to white flowers in spring. This compact and low-maintenance plant thrives in a variety of garden settings, making it an excellent choice for hedging, borders, or feature planting. It is highly adaptable, tolerating drought, coastal conditions, and light frosts once established. Growing best in well-draining soil, it prefers a position in full sun to part shade. Its attractive, glossy foliage provides year-round interest, while its flowers attract bees and other pollinators. ‘Spring Pearl’ is perfect for Melbourne gardens, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its naturally neat shape.
