About YouGarden, Yougarden Photinia 'little Red Robin'

Photinia 'Little Red Robin' is a very popular, vigorous evergreen shrub, which boasts glossy, bright red leaves, which give a spectacular display in spring and summer. The leaves gradually change through a mix of oranges, purples and bronzes, maturing to deep dark green. The newest shoots retain a dark red glow all year. It produces clusters of small white flowers in spring, sometimes followed by red fruit - but it is the bright blood red spring foliage that really sets this hedging shrub apart. The colour is really intense and unusual, especially so early in the year, and being evergreen, has year round interest. A great and versatile choice for a low growing shrub for hedging, or as a stand alone plant. 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. Features and Benefits Fabulous evergreen shrub, with bright red leaf tips, that stay red-purple for the first year Perfect in pots and mixes borders, or as a gorgeous low growing hedge Each spring new shoots are an amazing bright red colour, stunning in effect A stunning evergreen plant that will provide you with stunning colours all year round Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to plant Specifications Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to plant.
