Raphiolepis indica variety named `Conda`

Abstract

A new and distinct Raphiolepis indica plant which expresses a very high concentration of anthocyanin in new growth, has larger leaves and attains a larger ultimate size when compared with other commercial varieties in the market class. This plant is superior in development of a dense canopy of attractive coarse texture, with a high concentration of blossoms, but which produces no unwanted seed.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and unique variety of Raphiolepis indica plant named Raphiolepis indica `Conda` as herein shown and described, is characterized by its large branching structure, rapid growth rate, very large coriaceous leaves, abundance of large clusters of pink flowers, and reddish-purple new-growth; the increased stature and vigor will fill numerous landscape needs for large screens, hedges, specimen plants and unusual foliage coloration and for its tolerance of heat, drought, salt, insects, disease, and soil type.
