Rhaphiolepis Oriental Pearl - 20cm Pot

Rhaphiolepis ‘Oriental Pearl’ is a compact, low-growing evergreen shrub prized for its glossy dark green foliage and exceptionally long flowering season. This reliable variety produces masses of clean white blooms from autumn through to late spring, providing extended colour when many other plants are not in flower.

Naturally forming a neat, rounded shape, Oriental Pearl is ideal for low hedging, borders, pots and general garden planting. Its tidy habit and year-round foliage make it a strong structural plant, while the prolonged flowering adds softness and seasonal interest across multiple months.

Highly adaptable, this variety thrives in sunny to partly shaded positions and performs well in coastal environments. It is both frost tolerant and salt tolerant, making it particularly suited to exposed sites and planting around pools or seaside gardens.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing, then reduce, as plants are low maintenance and relatively drought tolerant once mature. Avoid waterlogged conditions. Light pruning after flowering can help maintain a dense, compact shape if required.
