Rhaphiolepis indica ‘Oriental Pearl’ is a compact, evergreen shrub from the Rose family (Rosaceae) and is a cultivar of the Indian Hawthorn. It’s a popular ornamental plant, valued for its neat form, glossy foliage, and attractive flowers. Here’s a quick rundown of its key features:

  • Fruit: Small, bluish-black berries that follow the flowers, which can provide food for birds.
  • Growth Habit: Dense, rounded growth habit with a mature height and spread of about 1–1.5 meters, making it ideal for small gardens or container planting.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils, though it is tolerant of a range of soil types.
  • Watering: Drought-tolerant once established but appreciates occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods.

  • Hardiness: Hardy, tolerates mild frosts.
