The leaves on 'Little Red Robin' are slightly more vivid and the shades of bright red are more dominant than in the Red Robin. Everything in general is quite a lot smaller, making it the perfect, colourful plant where small shrubs are desired- or for filling in those little bare gaps around the garden.

Little Red Robin leaves are a bit smaller than Red Robin but is still rather compact and has a bushy nature. It will reach up to 1m high once mature.

We recommend planting Photinia 'Little Red Robin' in any normal, but moist soil, and in an exposed/sheltered position in the sun or partial shade.

  • Growth rate: Slow (10-20cm per year)
  • Ideal height: 0.5m+ Small
  • Soil type: Normal
  • Exposure: Exposed, sheltered
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it into a bigger pot or the ground. Just ensure you give it plenty of water and it gets enough soon. Please ensure you don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.

This is a dwarf variety of Red Robin with a slow growing habit, meaning it is rather low maintenance. You should only need to give it a quick trim during Spring (setting it up for the Summer), as well as a tidy up in Autumn if needed.

Please note, we do recommend protecting the plants from frost as they're rather prone to damage (especially young plants).

  1. Prepare the soil by mixing in some compost. Dig the hole- this will have to be about twice the width of the root system, but the same depth.
  2. Remove the plant from its pot by placing one hand on the base of the plant, and the other at the bottom of the pot. Wriggle the pot away gently.
  3. Untangle the roots a little as they may be clumped together.
  4. Place the plant into the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the surface of the soil. Follow this with backfilling the hole with your soil mix, and patting down to lightly secure.
  5. When you're done, thoroughly water the plant. Ensure you regularly water throughout its first year, as the plant needs plenty to be able to settle down, recover, and establish.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
