Photinia x fraseri (Red Robin) 'Louise'
Distinguished by its elegant variegated foliage, this evergreen shrub showcases striking cream and green leaves edged with a delicate pink flush when young, maturing to a sophisticated palette of grey green with creamy white margins. The colourful new growth emerges with a soft rose tint, creating a subtle yet captivating display that sets it apart from other photinias. Compact and neatly bushy in habit, it forms an excellent low hedge or adds refined structure to mixed borders without overwhelming smaller garden spaces. Small white flowers appear in spring, occasionally followed by ornamental red berries. Particularly resilient in urban environments, it thrives in sun or partial shade while tolerating pollution and a range of soil conditions with minimal maintenance required.
