Photinia Rubens is a beautiful, hardy evergreen shrub renowned for its brilliant crimson-red new growth and attractive, fine glossy green foliage. Featuring smaller, more delicate leaves than many other Photinia varieties, this stunning shrub produces vibrant flushes of rich red foliage that gradually mature to deep green, creating a spectacular contrast of colour throughout the year. During Summer, clusters of dainty white flowers appear amongst the foliage, adding an extra touch of charm to this versatile garden favourite.

Perfect for low hedging, garden borders, screening and feature plantings, Photinia Rubens is an outstanding choice for adding year-round colour and structure to the landscape. Its naturally dense, bushy growth habit makes it ideal for creating attractive, compact hedges that can be maintained at approximately 1.5 metres tall and wide. Regular clipping encourages fresh flushes of brilliant crimson-red foliage, providing repeated displays of vibrant colour throughout the growing season. Equally attractive when grown in decorative pots and large containers, Photinia Rubens makes a wonderful feature for patios, courtyards, entranceways and outdoor entertaining areas. Plant individually as a colourful feature shrub or in rows to create a stunning evergreen hedge or screen.

Exceptionally hardy and easy to grow, Photinia Rubens thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Frost tolerant and drought hardy once established, this reliable evergreen requires very little maintenance to look its best. For the most vibrant red foliage, plant in a sunny position and trim regularly to encourage fresh, colourful growth. Pruning after flowering will help maintain a neat, compact shape, while an application of slow-release fertiliser during Spring will promote healthy, vigorous growth. A fantastic choice for gardeners wanting a colourful, dependable and low-maintenance evergreen shrub that provides year-round beauty and privacy.
