Photinia Red Robin has brilliant red, glossy young foliage, and this is what it is principally grown for. The large rounded heads of small ivory white flowers in mid-late spring are however a secondary attraction in their own right, and these are sometimes followed by spherical red fruit.

A very versatile evergreen plant, it is deservedly popular, colouring up best in full sun, yet still makes a handsome background evergreen in partial shade too.

It can cope with hard pruning, so can be trimmed to form an informal hedge or clipped into a very smart strong shape.
