An incredible multitude of round white petals in spring is your reward for planting this Indian hawthorn cultivar, along with year-round interest from color-cycling foliage. Snow White Indian hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow White') is a small, slow-growing, compact shrub that's perfect for full sun spots in garden beds, along foundations, and in front of walls. The naturally round shape becomes a focal point in spring with profuse large clusters of fragrant pure white flowers. The following small blue berries add interest and attract wildlife. New growth in spring announces its arrival with a gorgeous red tone, maturing in summer to a deep, glossy green. In winter, leaves complete their color cycle by turning to a deep maroon in the winter. Establish with regular deep waterings during the first year. Once established, the shrub can tolerate moderate drought. Water thoroughly every week or two for 'Snow White' to look its best, depending on the weather. Do make sure to water during hot periods, or right before, or water more regularly if your plant is in a container. Feed in spring before new growth emerges. Takes well to pruning, making it suitable to both informal and formal garden designs. Along with moderate drought, the plant tolerates heat, salt spray and salty soil.
