White flowers during the summer, however, the main feature is the striking red foliage in spring. Outstanding evergreen shrub for hedging screening purposes.
Grow 3-4m high x 1m wide. Plants at 80cm intervals for a dense hedge effect at maturity.
Photinia Robusta is a hybrid evergreen shrub that is a cross between Photinia glabra and Photinia serrulata. It is a popular landscape plant grown for its attractive foliage and ability to form a dense, fast-growing hedge or screen. It produces glossy, dark green leaves that are oval-shaped and serrated along the edges. In the spring, it produces clusters of small white flowers that are followed by red berries in the fall.
Photinia Robusta is relatively easy to grow and is adaptable to a wide range of soil types and pH levels, but it prefers a well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires regular watering during the growing season. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant.
