Spring Sonata Indian Hawthorne

Compact, evergreen, and effortlessly elegant—the Spring Sonata Indian Hawthorn is a standout performer in any Southern garden. This refined Indian hawthorn shrub features deep green, leathery leaves that stay glossy year-round and explode into clusters of pure white blooms in early to mid-spring. Its naturally rounded shape and dense habit make it ideal for borders, foundation plantings, low hedges, or mass plantings that glow with seasonal interest.

As a selection of Rhaphiolepis indica, Spring Sonata is known for its strong disease resistance, compact growth (typically 3 feet tall and wide), and exceptional tolerance to heat, humidity, and even salt spray—making it perfect for both inland and coastal landscapes. Use it to line a path, soften a driveway, or add curb appeal with minimal effort.

Care Tips

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best results. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then reduce frequency as the plant matures. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage a healthy bloom cycle. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, this hawthorn bush brings long-lasting beauty with very little fuss.
