Description
A shrub with so much to see! Colour-changing leaves across the year, dainty springtime flowers, and evergreen foliage for cross-season beauty.
Feel bowled over by the fresh spring foliage of this vigorous shrub, which erupts in a bright shade of scarlet red, contrasting to perfection against mature, deep green foliage. The colour is really intense and unusual, especially so early in the year, and being evergreen, boasts year-round interest. The red shade holds firm across spring and summer, before evolving to dark green towards the end of the year.
'Red Robin' is often grown either as an ornamental shrub or a fast-growing, dense hedge. Clusters of small white flowers emerge in spring, often followed by red fruit.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
A versatile shrub, ideal for use as hedging, screening, or as a neutral backdrop for other colourful perennials and flowers to shine against, yet easily manageable in smaller gardens with just an annual prune needed. Once planted and settled, this variety can grow up to 30cm per year.
Supplied as an established plant in a 5L pot, roughly 80-100cm tall, ready to plant.

Top Tips
This specimen plant can be pruned or clipped up to three times a year to encourage 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.
