Lots and lots of showy, rich pink flowers on large panicles and dusky peach-colored new growth make this one of the most colorful Indian hawthorns we’ve ever seen. A top performer in our Florida trials, where the foliage remained clean and healthy. Live large!

Their evergreen foliage makes them a great companion to colorful annuals and perennials.
Maintenance Notes:Grows best in full sun, has a higher bloom count and better disease resistance when it gets 6+ hours a day.
If you'd like to prune, do so after it has bloomed in the spring. Pruning during this short window of time will ensure that you don't remove next year's blooms as they form on new growth.La Vida Grande® Rhaphiolepis indica 'SMNRI20F' USPP 34,145 -
