This is a very nice shrub. It doesn't like the frosts my area is prone to get so I have to be careful. Mine is grown in sandy acidic soil with light shade and does well with light watering. I don't get alot of flowers but that's okay I still like it. A good shrub to have in any yard.

Actually, the correct name is "India Hawthorne", not "Indian Hawthorne". It has been mispronounced so much in the last 20 years that the incorrect name has stuck. It might also be noted that in the severe Texas freezes of 1983 and 1989, these plants and waxleaf ligustrums were killed over most of the state, as was a lot of St. Augustine lawns and some old palm trees. Not to mention a lot of citrus.

I have been growing Indian Hawthornes in my northern Delaware garden (Zone 7a). There are not many of these growing this far north on the east coast. My plants burned a little after their first winter in the ground - but they stayed green after their second winter. So my guess is these plants may need a year or so to establish in marginal climates. Aside from the browned leaves after their first winter, my Indian Hawthornes have been otherise trouble-free and have done well along my sunny dryish south-facing foundation, as expected.

I just love this shrub. Here they bloom quite early in the spring and the fragrance is delightful. I only wish they had a longer blooming period. But the evergreen leaves are quite attractive in themselves and it makes for a nice hedge or windbreak. They will grow quite tall and wide if not pruned (mine have gotten to about 15 feet and probably would have continued growing had I not pruned them back).
