Description

We are constantly on the lookout for superb and unique garden plants that are easy to grow and make a real impact on decor - thankfully these fabulous Photinia tick both boxes!

These 'Little Red Robin' are cultivars with smaller leaves, giving a bold and bright red glow as new leaves emerge throughout the summer. What's more, in this stylish lollipop standard form, they are exceptional year-round focal points and features too.

Skilfully crafted across four years, this unusual format adds height to any garden, and yet are easy to maintain with a simple trim to shape each autumn. Grow in full sun for best red foliage colour and they will glow on those long summer nights. Whilst they will fade to darker green somewhat over winter, they retain a mix of red tones all year.

Great for year round evergreen use, working to perfection as a pair in large pots either side of doorways, gates, and porches.

Supplied as a pair of established standard plants, 70-80cm tall, in 3L pots, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Standard Photinia can be clipped up to 3 times a year to encourage the new red leaves to develop.
Care Information
  • Also known as the Christmas Berry, photinia 'Red Robin' grows best in fertile, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade.
  • A sheltered position is best as the new growth can be scorched by drying wind or late frosts. Regular watering can cut down the risk of scorching.
  • Really easy to care for, any pruning is minimal, and is usually just formative. Carried out before mid-summer, it allows new growth to harden off before winter.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
