Plant in a Box Photinia fraseri Red Robin - set of 6 loquat plants

One of the most well-known species in the Photinia family is the Red Robin. This species is recognized for its bright red leaves in spring. The glossy leaves and red stems create a strong contrast with the mature green leaves further down the plant, resulting in a striking bicolor effect. The spring foliage is complemented by clusters of creamy white flowers. This popular evergreen shrub is versatile, making it well-suited for both shrub and hedge use. When used as a hedge, the plant can be heavily pruned in spring to maintain its shape.

Care
The Photinia Red Robin prefers moist soil that is well-drained. Additionally, a sunny location is desirable, but it should be somewhat sheltered; Photinia does not tolerate too much wind. The plant should be pruned early in the year, removing any dead or damaged branches.
