Photinia Red Robin
Photinia ‘Red Robin’ boasts wonderful vibrant red foliage in the spring on new growth, with older foliage showcasing a darker, glossy green that is equally attractive. Make the best of this colourful evergreen hedging by planting Photinia ‘Red Robin’ in a sunny spot, though suited to partial shade, the brightest red colour will emerge in a sunnier position. The small, creamy white flowers that appear on Photinia in spring are popular with wildlife, as are the berries that come later in the season.
Ideal for creating dense, colourful screens or formal hedges, it can grow up to 3–4 metres tall if left untrimmed, but is easily kept to a desired size with light pruning once or twice a year. Hardy and resilient, it’s a great choice for low maintenance, high impact planting.
