Product Description
Colour-rich, evergreen & beautifully structural — these premium Photinia shrubs bring year-round form, seasonal red flushes & versatile hedging performance to any garden size.
You can choose one large, outdoor garden ready Photinia plant, selecting from two distinct varieties: ‘Little Red Robin’ for compact hedging in smaller gardens, or ‘Red Robin’ for tall, architectural boundary planting. Both varieties are prized for their glossy evergreen foliage & vivid crimson new growth that appears in spring and often again after light pruning. Whether forming low decorative edging or a bold privacy screen, these Photinia shrubs provide long-lasting colour, reliable structure & strong visual impact across all seasons.
Supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 2L rootballs in their nursery pots, each plant is grown in premium peat-free compost for vigorous root development & dependable performance after planting. Larger and more mature than the small liners found in mass-market stores, these Photinias arrive well-branched, fully rooted & outdoor garden ready—ensuring faster establishment, stronger growth & a more immediate structural presence in hedges, borders, pathways or contemporary garden designs. Their dense evergreen foliage delivers year-round texture, while their red spring flushes add standout ornamental value.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What's the best compost for my flower bulbs?
We would recommend a compost that contains nutrients that last up to 6 months to promote strong, healthy roots, and often includes a wetting agent to improve water retention and drainage for a vibrant spring display.
Here's the perfect one: Click Here
How can I prevent my bulbs from rotting and ensure they bloom again?
Bulbs rot in wet soil! You must have light, well-drained soil. Work compost or organic matter 8-12 inches deep into the planting bed to ensure rapid drainage and aeration.
Plant most bulbs in full sun or part sun for the long-term energy recharge.
What is the most critical step for getting flowers next year after the current blooms fade?
Do not cut the foliage (leaves) after the flower dies. The green leaves need approximately 8 weeks to yellow and brown naturally. This post-bloom period is when the bulb recharges its energy (carbohydrates) for next year’s flower. Cutting them early causes bloom failure!
How deep should I plant my bulbs?
Plant bulbs roughly three times as deep as the bulb’s height (e.g., a 2-inch tall bulb should be planted 6 inches deep). This depth provides crucial thermal protection.
You'll find the exact specifications on the bulbs page/
Do you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
At present, we’re unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to post-Brexit regulations. The additional paperwork and costs involved would make it too expensive for customers.
We hope this situation will change in the near future.
