Notes
'sPg-3-003' Indian-hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica 'sPg-3-003') is a shrub for hedges, foundation plantings, containers, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows fast into a dense, evergreen mound. Fragrant spring flowers draw bees, and birds visit too.
Pairs well with Oakleaf hydrangea, Sasanqua camellia, and Purple Coneflower coneflower.
