Rhaphiolepis indica 'Dancer' (Indian Hawthorn) - A dense, compact growing variety with glossy, hard foliage and clear dark pink flowers. Grows to 3-4 feet tall. Full sun or light shade. Drought tolerant. One of the best of the smaller Indian hawthorns. Is resistant to bacterial leaf spot (Entomosporium Leaf Spot) that plague other cultivars. This plant tends to grow a little lopsided so tip prune lightly when young to shape and promote denser growth.
