10 Photinia x f. Little Red Robin-Photinia in 9 cm Pot

Little Red Robin is a clone of frazeri which was originally raise in New Zealand. Smaller sibling of Photinia f. Red Robin it is a slower growing much more compact evergreen shrub of dense habit with glossy dark green leaves and very striking brilliant red new growth that cover the bush in spring and given sheltered conditions can last well into winter. Occasionally produces masses of corymbs of creamy white flowers however flowering is unreliable and not the reason the plant is grown. When present they are attractive. If you would like the chance of flowering pruning should only take place in late spring. These plants are mostly used as a quality hedge, but can and are also used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot. When growing in a pot or other container. Use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade and become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 12-14 month applied annually in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost. Makes a first class quality hedging plant.
