Why? Because it is a tough, evergreen shrub that can be used in a hedge. It doesn&#8217;t wilt in the summer; its glossy leaves always seem fresh and cool. In late spring, it is covered with small, pale pink flowers. After a frost, some leaves turn a bright orange or red, but like live oaks, the old leaves remain until the new leaves push them out.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nAs is often the case, at my house someone planted it as a foundation plant, much too close to the house. Five of the six plants were in too much shade and all were scraggly and chlorotic. I have removed the five in the shade, and someday, I will take out the sixth, too. I have no fondness at all for Indian Hawthorn.<\/p>\n<h4>References<\/h4>\n<p>* <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/081301011X\/qid=1125189269\/sr=8-1\/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14\/102-2821109-0644901?v=glance&#038;s=books&#038;n=507846\">Woody Ornamentals for Deep South Gardens<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/photos\/400\/RaphiolepisIndica_20040405.jpg\" alt=\"photo: Indian Hawthorn\" width=\"400px\"\/><br \/><i>Rhaphiolepis indica &#8212; Indian Hawthorn<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[521],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4985,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367\/revisions\/4985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
