Photinia, often referred to as Red Robin, is a popular evergreen shrub known for its vibrant red new growth that emerges each spring and summer. The colourful foliage creates a striking contrast against the mature dark green leaves, providing year-round visual interest. Clusters of small white flowers may appear in late spring, followed by small red berries, adding further seasonal charm. With its dense, bushy habit and fast growth, Photinia is ideal for hedges, screens, or as a bold specimen shrub in mixed borders.
Highly adaptable, Photinia thrives in various soil conditions and is resistant to pollution and coastal winds. Its bright new growth and robust nature make it a favourite choice for gardeners looking to add colour and structure to their landscapes.
