Photinia 'Pink Marble' – A Striking Variegated Evergreen Living Panel

Photinia × fraseri 'Pink Marble' is a bold and beautiful evergreen shrub, celebrated for its eye-catching variegated foliage and rich pink new growth. Trained as a living panel, this variety becomes a living wall of colour and structure—ideal for adding privacy, height, and year-round interest to gardens and patios. With its creamy-white margins, marbled green leaves, and vivid pink flushes in spring, 'Pink Marble' offers a unique and elegant twist on traditional evergreen screening.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• New leaves emerge in vivid shades of pink and red, creating a spectacular early-season display.

• As foliage matures, leaves develop striking cream and green variegation, enhancing the plant's visual texture.

• Small clusters of white flowers may appear in mid- to late spring, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Summer:

• Foliage remains dense and vibrant, with the marbled pattern providing contrast and lightness even in shaded areas.

• The plant offers excellent screening during peak growing months, with lush growth and minimal maintenance required.

• Occasional light pruning encourages fresh flushes of pink growth.

Autumn:

• Foliage remains evergreen and colourful, maintaining the panel’s structural and aesthetic presence as other plants fade.

• Pink tints may return subtly as new growth appears in mild autumn weather.

Winter:

• 'Pink Marble' retains its leaves through winter, providing valuable evergreen structure and screening.

• Strong cold winds may slightly bronze some foliage tips, but the plant remains resilient and attractive throughout the season.

Structure & Form

• Height & Spread: Typically reaches 2.5–4 metres in height and 1.5–2.5 metres in spread when trained and maintained, depending on panel size.

• Form: Naturally upright with a dense, bushy habit—ideal for training flat to trellis or frame structures.

• Growth Habit: Moderately fast-growing and responsive to pruning, allowing for a well-managed, architectural form.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Privacy Screens: Excellent for use as a living panel or pleached hedge, offering colour, structure, and screening in one.

• Modern Gardens: The bold variegation and pink flushes make it a standout feature in contemporary designs.

• Urban Spaces: Performs well in pots or planters with sturdy supports—ideal for balconies, patios, and small gardens.

• Wildlife Interest: The flowers attract pollinators in spring, while the dense foliage provides cover for garden birds.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Prefers full sun for best leaf colour, but also tolerates light or partial shade.

• Soil: Grows well in most well-drained, fertile soils. Avoid waterlogged conditions.

• Maintenance: Low-maintenance once established. Prune lightly in spring or after flowering to shape and stimulate colourful new growth. Feed annually with a balanced fertiliser for optimal results.

• Hardiness: Hardy in most parts of the UK; offers reliable year-round foliage even in urban or coastal locations.

Why Choose Photinia 'Pink Marble' as a Living Panel?

Photinia 'Pink Marble' is a superb choice for gardeners seeking a vibrant, evergreen screen with year-round interest. Its marbled leaves, pink new growth, and architectural presence make it an attractive alternative to more traditional hedging plants. Whether used for privacy, structure, or as a standalone feature, it brings colour, life, and elegance to any space—especially when trained to create a living panel.

Perfect Plant Combinations

• Climbers: Pair with clematis or evergreen jasmine to soften the panel with seasonal blooms.

• Perennials: Underplant with hardy geraniums, salvias, or euphorbia for a colourful base layer.

• Grasses: Add texture with ornamental grasses such as Stipa or Carex to contrast with Photinia’s broad leaves.

• Shrubs: Combine with Pittosporum or Hebe for layered evergreen interest and compatible structure.
