Photinia × fraseri 'Carré Rouge' (Pot Size 35L) Carré Rouge Photinia sold by Boma Garden Centre

Photinia × fraseri ‘Carré Rouge’ is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its striking red new foliage. Unlike the traditional Red Robin variety, which fades quickly to green, Carré Rouge maintains its blood-red colouring through successive flushes across the growing season, creating layers of colour from spring through to autumn.This versatile shrub responds beautifully to training and pruning, making it ideal as a specimen topiary, lollipop standard or hedging plant. In spring, small creamy-white flowers appear among the foliage, a delicate contrast to the bold leaf colour. Mature foliage is glossy dark green, providing an elegant backdrop to the continuous display of crimson new growth.Position in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acid pH. The compact habit makes it manageable for smaller gardens and container planting, reaching 1.5–2.5 metres in height and spread over 10–20 years. Hardy to H5, it will survive UK winters without protection.
