Description
Photinia Carre Rouge
Photinia Carre Rouge is a standout evergreen hedge that showcases striking red new growth, comparable to the vibrant hues of Pieris (Forest Flame) and often considered superior to its well-known relative, Photinia Red Robin. The new foliage retains its rich red color longer than most, and if it begins to fade, a quick trim encourages the hedge to thicken and produces another wave of brilliant red leaves. Although not as fast-growing as Photinia Red Robin, this variety benefits from regular trimming to maintain its dense structure, vibrant leaf colour, and defined shape. If left to grow more naturally, it may reward you with clusters of creamy white flowers, adding a touch of elegance to your garden and enhancing its use as a privacy screen.
With medium-sized leaves, Photinia Carre Rouge not only serves as an excellent screening hedge but also offers soundproofing benefits by absorbing noise within its dense foliage. Additionally, it helps purify the air by trapping dust and airborne particles, making it a practical choice for urban gardens.
Highly lime-tolerant, Photinia Carre Rouge thrives across the United Kingdom, preferring moist, well-drained soil. This pallet of 5 ready hedges offers a vibrant, cohesive solution for those seeking both beauty and functionality in their garden spaces.
