Photinia Fraseri ‘Carre Rouge’

Why we love it:

• Photinia fraseri ‘Carre Rouge’ is a new compact variety of photinia which has blood red growth and smaller leaves and is approximately half the size of its mother plant Photinia ‘Red Robin’
• With more intense colour than ‘Red Robin’, it’s easier to maintain as a shrub and an excellent hedging choice

What you need to know:

• 1 x Photinia fraseri ‘Carre Rouge’
• Plant Type: Evergreen, bushy, hardy shrub
• Flowers: Large, creamy white in April/May
• Height: 2.5m
• Spread: 2.5
• Position: Full sun, partial shade
• Soil Type: Moist, well drained

Caring for your plant:

• This is sometimes caught by late spring frosts, and some shelter is advisable
• You get the best foliage colour by planting in full sun
• Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings in summer
• If you shorten the stems of established specimens by up to 15cm (6in) – to just above an outward-facing bud – it will encourage a profusion of bright young foliage in late-spring or summer
