Rhaphiolepis umbellata Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a well-drained moisture retentive fertile loam or peaty soil in a warm sheltered sunny position[11, 200]. Prefers a position in light shade[202]. An easily grown plant but it is intolerant of dry cold[184]. Judging by its habitat, it should be fairly tolerant of maritime exposure[58]. Plants are tolerant of sea spray[245]. Tolerating temperatures down to about -15°c[200], it is normally hardy at Kew[1]. A polymorphic species[58], there are some named varieties selected for their ornamental value[200]. The plant bears honey-scented hawthorn-like blossoms[245]. Plants do not require pruning[182]. They are of slow to moderate growth rate[202]. Plants resent root disturbance and so are best grown in pots and then planted out into their permanent positions as soon as possible[200].
