Photinia 'Little Red Robin' is a smaller, more compact version of our standard Photinia. Sometimes referred to as ‘Christmas Berry’ Little Red Robin, this plant has beautiful evergreen foliage that is bright red whilst young in spring, maturing into a glossy green in autumn through to winter.
It colours up best in full sun, and will usually only flower in sunny conditions, although it makes a handsome background evergreen shrub in partial shade, too. It can cope with hard pruning, so can be trimmed to form an informal hedge or clipped into strong shapes.
With its red glossy foliage, and large heads of ivory flowers, this versatile evergreen shrub can be grown as a specimen shrub, informal hedge or focal point within mixed borders, adding vibrant colour and architectural interest to any outdoor space.

Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.
