Photinia Red Robin is a beautiful evergreen hedge that showcases glossy, red leaves in the spring before maturing into stunning dark green foliage further on in the year.
The Photinia Red Robin is the perfect hedge to provide you with a year-round interest in your garden. Popping up intricate, little, white flowers, along with bold, scarlet leaves in Spring that change to an intense dark green in Winter, the Red Robin will heartily attract attention in your garden. Best yet, wildlife are attracted to the plant, with its wonderful berries that burst through from autumn to winter.
The Photinia x fraseri has an average growth rate of 30cm per year, and you can easily maintain it up to the height of 4m. We do not recommend the Red Robin where extra privacy is needed; due to the fact It is not a particularly dense hedge.
The Photinia Red Robin generally prefers a sunny home; however, it will still grow well in partial shade, and a well-drained soil is best to enable it to exceedingly thrive. It is a frost-resilient plant, but young plants must be protected in the winter. The Red Robin may have the occasional leaf drop, meaning you will need to carefully prune back, and applying a slow-release fertiliser during Spring is recommended.
The Photinia Red Robin should generally be trimmed to a formal hedge shape in late Winter, as well as early Spring, however, you can also leave it informal and just trim down the width and height when need be.
When should I plant Photinia Red Robin hedging?
The best time to plant your Photinia hedging is any time from autumn through to spring, as long as the ground is not frozen.
How far apart do you plant Photinia Red Robin plants?
If you are wanting to create a lovely, dense hedge quickly, individual plants should be spaces around 75cm apart. If you are growing it against a wall or fence, however, ensure the plants are at least 60cm away from the wall.̴Ì?
How to plant your Photinia Red Robin:
Ensure you have chosen a full sun or partially shaded position. If the soil is heavy or easily waterlogged, be sure to add plenty of well-rotted compost to the area and you dig it in well.
Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and sprinkle some bone meal into the ground. Plant the Photinia into the hole and fill it back up with soil. Carefully, but firmly, press down the soil around the base. Water the plants nicely and regularly for the first year after planting, to help the roots establish.

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 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.
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.
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.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
