Rhaphiolepis indica is a dense, mounding evergreen shrub native to southern China. It is highly valued for its profusion of fragrant white or pink flowers that bloom in spring, followed by dark blue-black berries. The leathery, serrated leaves emerge with a bronze tint before maturing to a deep, lustrous green. This slow-growing plant is ideal for low hedges, foundation plantings, or coastal gardens due to its salt tolerance and compact habit. It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun.
