Rhaphiolepis Hot Tips

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 3 units

Rhaphiolepis Hot Tips is a compact evergreen shrub known for its glossy green foliage tipped with coppery-red new growth and clusters of soft pink flowers in spring. It grows to around 1 metre high and wide, forming a neat, rounded shape ideal for low hedging or borders. Its attractive leaf colour and tidy form make it a striking choice year-round.

In Melbourne and Sydney, Hot Tips thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It tolerates light frost and periods of dryness once established, making it suitable for coastal and urban gardens alike. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth, and mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pair Hot Tips with complementary plants such as Westringia ‘Mundi’, Liriope muscari, Lavandula ‘Avonview’, or Escallonia ‘Pink Elle’. These companions echo its texture or contrast its foliage, enhancing both colour and form in mixed plantings.
