Photinia (Red Robin) - Simpson's Nurseries Ltd

Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’ is a well-loved evergreen shrub or small tree, best known for its striking new growth. In spring, fresh leaves emerge a bright, fiery red, creating a dramatic splash of colour that stands out against the glossy, dark green foliage of mature growth. This vibrant red gradually deepens to bronze, and eventually green, adding layers of visual interest throughout the year. With its dense, bushy habit, ‘Red Robin’ is often used as a hedge, screen, or ornamental feature, providing a bold statement in any garden.

Beyond its colourful foliage, Photinia produces small, white flower clusters in late spring or early summer, which attract bees and other pollinators. While primarily grown for its leaves, these flowers add a delicate, subtle charm. Tough and adaptable, Photinia ‘Red Robin’ is suitable for a wide range of garden styles, from formal hedges to more informal mixed borders.
