Product Description
We are constantly on the lookout for great garden plants, which are easy to grow and make a great addition to any garden - these fabulous Photinia tick both boxes.
'Little Red Robin' is quite a new cultivar with smaller leaves, giving an even bolder and brighter red glow as the new leaves emerge and throughout the summer. What's more, in this stylish lollipop standard form, it's even more of a year-round focal point and feature too.
Skilfully crafted over 4 years, this unusual format adds height to any garden, and yet is easy to maintain with a simple trim to shape each autumn. Grow in full sun for best red foliage colour and it will glow on those long summer nights. Whilst it will fade to darker green somewhat over winter, it retains a mix of red tones all year.
Great for year round evergreen use (it should be ever-red!), they work well in pairs in large pots either side of doorways, gates and porches, or as a single focal point in a formal bed. Supplied in a nursery pot.
What Is Supplied
Item 510183 supplied as:
Supplied as a standard tree, 70-80cm tall in 3L pot, with 50 cm clear stem.
Plant Information
Top Tips
- Standard Photinia can be clipped up to 3 times a year to encourage the new red leaves to develop.
Care Guide
- Also known as the Christmas Berry, photinia 'Red Robin' grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
- A sheltered position is best as the new growth can be scorched by drying wind or late frosts. Regular watering can cut down the risk of scorching.
- Really easy to care for, any pruning is minimal, and is usually just formative. Carried out before mid-summer, it allows new growth to harden off before winter.

My order was way below the standard I expected. They redeemed themselves some way by replacing the order. On sending an email of complaint, they tell you to send a picture. I did this, but their reply was to tell me I needed to send my full name and address, which they already had. They asked for this information twice before I got an actual response.
