Photinia glabra Super Red

Photinia glabra 'Super Red' is a popular cultivar of Photinia, widely appreciated for its vivid red young foliage that matures to a dark green. This evergreen shrub typically reaches a mature height of about 3 meters and a similar spread, making it a great choice for hedges, screens, or as a standalone ornamental feature in the garden.

To grow Photinia glabra 'Super Red' successfully in Melbourne and Sydney, plant it in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It thrives in well-draining soil and is relatively adaptable to different soil types, though it prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Regular watering is important during its establishment phase, and even mature plants benefit from occasional watering and mulching during extended dry periods. Photinia responds well to pruning, which not only helps maintain its shape and size but also encourages the growth of new red foliage, enhancing its ornamental appeal. Annual feeding with a balanced fertilizer in early spring supports healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
