Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow Maiden' looks excellent as a compact, evergreen shrub providing a fresh burst of fragrant white flowers in spring and early summer. Its dense, mounding habit and glossy dark green foliage create a lush, polished appearance, making it an eye-catching choice for hedges, borders, or as a standout specimen in mixed plantings.

This versatile shrub performs well in full sun to partial shade and is drought hardy once established, thriving in coastal and varied soil conditions.

How to Plant Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow Maiden'

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

Site Selection: Choose a full sun to partial shade location for the best flowering and growth.

Planting: Position the shrub so the top of the root ball is at ground level. Backfill with native soil and water deeply.

Mulching: Apply a 5–7cm mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant mat
