Rhaphiolepis Apple Blossom Seeds

Inc. GST + FREE Shipping

Rhaphiolepis Apple Blossom is a compact evergreen shrub with deep green leathery leaves that are punctuated by a complete coverage of apple blossom like pink flowers from Winter through to Spring, and lighter flushes of flowers throughout the warmer months. This variety of Rhaphiolepis (commonly known as Indian Hawthorn) is most commonly grown as an informal hedge providing beautiful colour and requiring only a light trim after flowering, to keep it in shape. This variety is highly suitable as a cut flower as the glossy dark green foliage, contrasts elegantly with the long-lasting pink flowers, ensuring Rhaphiolepis will outlast most other flowers in any floral arrangement.

Rhaphiolepis Apple Blossom is suitable for pots, borders, rockeries and other garden situations, particularly dry areas where it may be difficult to establish other plants with higher water requirements. Rhaphiolepis Apple Blossom is very easy to grow and does not require any maintenance, will tolerate soils with generally poor nutrition and is resistant to most common garden pests and diseases.
