Photinia x fraseri (Red robin) 'Carre Rouge'
A standout evergreen shrub that offers spectacular seasonal interest, its glossy dark green leaves emerge in vibrant shades of ruby red, creating a striking contrast against the mature foliage. The new growth develops particularly intense colouring that persists longer than many other red tipped varieties, ensuring a dramatic display from spring through summer. Naturally dense and bushy in habit, it forms an excellent hedge or screening plant while also working beautifully as a specimen in mixed borders. Tough and adaptable, it thrives in both sun and partial shade, tolerating urban pollution and a range of soil conditions with minimal care. White flower clusters appear in spring, followed by ornamental red berries that attract wildlife, adding to its year round appeal.
