Yeddo Hawthorn
Rhaphiolepis Umbellata
Overview
Yeddo Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis umbellata) is an evergreen shrub, favored for landscape designs due to its hardy nature and compact growth, reaching up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It boasts leathery, dark green foliage and clusters of fragrant, white to light pink flowers in spring, which give way to dark blueberries. Ideal for foundation plantings and hedges, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought-tolerant once established.
