Reflecting on the recent cold days, I decided to write about a cold-hardy shrub that also grows well in Hawaii. Indian hawthorn is an evergreen shrub that is adaptable to a variety of locations here. It is somewhat drought and salt tolerant and grows well in most types of soil. It also produces small, lightly fragrant flowers nearly year-round followed by dark blue berries. Both offer attractive additions to floral arrangements. You might want to consider adding this plant to your garden.
