Clara Indian Hawthorn is a compact evergreen shrub with a dense rounded habit. Its finely serrated foliage emerges reddish-copper before maturing to dark green. The clusters of pink buds open to fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring. Prefers partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Clara is resistant to Entomosporium leaf spot.
