Photinia Pink Crispy Variegated Evergreen Shrub Pink Spring Foliage 9cm Pot

Photinia 'Pink Crispy' – 1 x 9cm Potted Plant

This photinia is a real show stopper – it was awarded a gold medal at its first international trade show. Its heavily marbled foliage of dark green and cream looks great all year, but the big 'wow' comes in spring, when large, bright pink new leaves emerge on bright red shoots. A compact, bushy evergreen that flowers in May, it is ideal for borders, containers or a colourful hedge.

How to grow

Grow in sun or semi-shade in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil. In frost-prone areas, plant beside a warm wall or in the shelter of other shrubs. Dig in plenty of well-rotted manure or compost, plant at the same depth as in the pot and water well. Water regularly until established and mulch in spring. Once established, remove damaged stems and lightly trim to shape in summer after flowering.

Plant height and spread are seasonal, so plants are listed by pot size. The size of the plant delivered will vary with the season and images are an indication only.
