About This Plant

Rhaphiolepis indica 'Pink Dancer' (Indian Hawthorn), 'Pink Dancer', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.

Indian Hawthorns (Rhaphiolepis) , compact evergreens with leathery dark leaves, pink or white spring flowers, and dark berries. Outstanding low foundation shrubs.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 8 to 10. Marginally hardy in zone 8 PNW. Watch for leaf spot in humid conditions.

For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
