Description

Clara White Indian Hawthorn is a classic, compact shrub prized for its clean, crisp display of pure white spring flowers against dark green foliage. The flower buds open from attractive pink buds, creating a lovely two-tone effect. Its dense, mounding habit and reliable performance make it a versatile choice for low hedges, mass plantings, or foundation beds. It is valued for its neat appearance, disease resistance, and tolerance of tough conditions.
