We recommend planting these every 50cm for an instant hedge.

Photinia ‘Red Robin’ is one of the most popular evergreen hedging plants, loved for its brilliant display of glossy red young leaves that mature to a rich, dark green. This colourful, fast-growing hedge brings year-round interest and a touch of elegance to any garden, whether you’re creating a formal boundary or a vibrant feature screen.

Ideal for a wide range of garden settings, Red Robin thrives in full sun or partial shade and tolerates most well-drained soils. It’s a tough, reliable choice that performs well in both sheltered and slightly exposed locations. With regular pruning, you can encourage fresh flushes of striking red growth, keeping your hedge dense, tidy, and full of colour throughout the seasons.

Another advantage of Photinia ‘Red Robin’ is that it’s non-toxic to humans and animals, making it a safe and beautiful option for gardens with pets or children.
