Rhaphiolepis 'Snow Maiden' 250MM

Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow Maiden'

I am Rhaphiolepis 'Snow Maiden'. My family originated from China and Japan.

Habit Shrub - Floral Display

Plant family Rosaceae

I am admired for my shiny dark green foliage and pretty white, semi-double flowers in winter and spring. I am an evergreen shrub with a compact upright habit. As a dwarf form of Rhaphiolepis my prolific flowers are followed by black berries in summer. I thrive equally well in full sun and part shade but my blooms are more prolific in brighter conditions. I am hardy and adaptable to a range of conditions and soils. Hardy I tolerate strong winds, heat and frosts. I am an excellent choice for borders/low hedging, massed planting in shrubberies and in pots. Low maintenance only prune me after flowering to adjust my shape and size.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My tidy compact form is complimented by prolific white flowers in tight bunches from winter into spring

Adaptable I perform equally well in pots and containers as I do planted out in the garden

My flowers may be cut to be enjoyed indoors. Left on the plant they will be followed by black berries in summer
