| Botanical Name | Rhaphiolepis indica 'Snow Pink' |
| Description | A reliable, mounding evergreen shrub prized for its dense habit and clusters of light pink flowers. It is exceptionally well-suited to the Houston climate, offering good resistance to Entomosporium leaf spot. While adaptable to various soil types, it must have a well-drained location; it will struggle in heavy, saturated clay that remains waterlogged. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Full sun promotes the best flower density) |
| Height x Width | 3-4' Height x 3-4' Width |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is quite drought-tolerant but appreciates supplemental water during extreme Houston summer dry spells. |
| Zones | 8 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. |
| Pruning | Minimal; lightly prune after the spring bloom to maintain shape or remove dead wood. |
| Deer Resistance | Low to Moderate |
