Photinia "Red Robin"

Photinia × fraseri 'Red Robin' is a vigorous evergreen shrub prized for its striking red foliage. The vibrant red young leaves mature to a deep glossy green, creating year-round interest and color contrast in the garden.

Typically growing to 2.5–4 meters tall and 2–3 meters wide, 'Red Robin' is perfect for hedging, screens, or as a standalone ornamental. In spring, it produces clusters of small white flowers, which may be followed by red berries if not trimmed immediately after flowering.

This cultivar is fast-growing, drought-tolerant once established, and responds well to regular pruning, which encourages fresh red growth. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, prefers well-drained soil, and is tolerant of urban pollution, making it well-suited to gardens in both rural and city environments.

‘Red Robin’ requires minimal care, though occasional pruning is recommended to maintain shape and encourage colorful foliage. It may be susceptible to leaf spot in humid or poorly ventilated locations, so ensure adequate spacing and airflow.
