Rhaphiolepis indica 'Conor' | Eleanor Tabor Indian Hawthorn

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rhaphiolepis indica 'Conor' produces clusters of lightly fragrant soft pink flowers that gradually fade to white in spring. Glossy, oval leaves are deep green and leathery, forming a dense evergreen canopy that provides year-round structure. New growth emerges with bronze tones, adding seasonal color, while the flowers are held in rounded clusters above the foliage and are followed by small blue-black berries that attract birds.

Originating from a species native to southern China and Japan, this cultivar reflects modern breeding focused on ornamental appeal and garden performance. It is well suited to borders, foundation plantings, low hedging, and coastal gardens, where its evergreen foliage and seasonal flowering provide lasting interest.
