Rhaphiolepis indica Snow Maiden
Rhaphiolepis indica are tough, compact shrubs producing dense, glossy foliage and masses of white or pink flowers. Among the most reliable low-hedging and mass-planting plants for coastal and subtropical conditions. Extremely low maintenance.
Specifier notes. Specified across commercial hedging projects from boundary screens to formal clipped lines.
Site & establishment. Tolerates coastal exposure provided the planting hole drains and soil is not waterlogged.
How we supply it. Low-maintenance specification: tolerates infrequent pruning and irregular watering programs. Flowering display adds seasonal interest beyond the structural role. Plants reliably at scale across mass-planting briefs.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
