| Botanical Name | Rhaphiolepis indica 'Pinkie' |
| Description | 'Pinkie' is one of the most popular dwarf Indian Hawthorns in the Houston metro area due to its manageable size and consistent performance. It is exceptionally well-suited for foundation plantings and low hedges, offering a soft splash of pink color every spring. This variety is highly resilient against the sweltering Texas sun and Gulf Coast humidity. While it is tolerant of our local heavy clay, it is best to plant it in well-draining areas or slightly raised beds to protect against root rot during our heavy rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade; Full Sun ensures the best flower production and a denser habit. |
| Height x Width | 2-3 feet tall x 3-4 feet wide. |
| Water | Medium; once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering in poorly drained clay. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release organic fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Minimal; light pruning after the spring bloom can help maintain its mounded shape. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
