Photinia Red Robin Hedging

colourful Photinia 'Red Robin' is a striking evergreen shrub, widely admired for its vibrant red new growth and glossy, dark green leaves. This hedging plant adds bold colour and year-round interest to any garden, making it a popular choice for hedges and screens. 

Varieties of Photinia 'Red Robin' 

Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin': The most common variety, known for its bright red foliage that emerges in spring and gradually matures to deep green. The colorful new growth contrasts beautifully with the glossy green leaves, creating a dramatic and elegant effect. 

Photinia 'Super Red': This variety offers even more intense red growth, lasting longer through the seasons. It shares the same hardy, compact form as 'Red Robin,' making it an excellent choice for a bold hedge or garden feature. 

Where to Site Your Photinia 'Red Robin' Hedging 

Photinia 'Red Robin' thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to a range of soil types and can tolerate urban conditions, making it suitable for both garden hedges and boundary screens. Good air circulation helps maintain the health and vibrancy of its foliage. 

Growth 

Photinia 'Red Robin' can grow to heights of 2.5 to 4 meters, with a similar spread. Its moderate growth rate makes it easy to maintain, and regular pruning will help it retain its compact and bushy form, ideal for dense hedging.
