Description
Photinia Red Robin Hedging Plants have dense evergreen leaves with new growth a lovely vibrant red. Photinia provides privacy colour and vibrancy to any space! Photinia Red Robin is very hardy and also tolerates full shade. These plants are also quite happy in full sun and anything in-between so is a really versatile plant for all parts of a garden. Photinia are evergreen giving you year-round privacy and are great for reducing noise with large dense green coloured leaves. The lovely red on the new growth leaves provide a colour and vibrancy throughout your hedge. If you don’t prune them before the flowers appear in early Spring they form lovely delicate creamy white flowers in clusters. Photinia will grow up to 60cm per year so will quickly make a tall hedge – they can grow up to 5m tall but are happy being trimmed from 1.2m upwards – we recommend you trim once a year in the Autumn to keep the foliage dense, or in early Spring if you want to avoid the flowers. We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don’t mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge. Keep them well watered – especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting. If you are not sure how many plants you need or which varieties suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer friendly advice!.
