These are Photinia Carré Rouge plants are currently 80-100cm tall. The heights are measured from the top of the pot to the top of the plant.
Photinia 'Carré Rouge' is a superb, improved evergreen variety of Photinia that brings sensational year-round color and structure to the garden. It has intense, blood-red young leaves that emerges in early spring, creating a dramatic, glowing contrast against its mature, glossy dark green foliage. Unlike Photinia 'Red Robin', 'Carré Rouge' holds its striking ruby coloration much longer into the summer and readily produces successive flushes of red growth if trimmed regularly. Tolerant of most soil types (including clay) and fully hardy across the UK, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, with the most brilliant leaf colors achieved in a sunny position. Photinia 'Carré Rouge' also stays denser than Photinia 'Red Robin'
10 litre pots are approx 28cm wide by 23cm deep. We recommend a minimum hole size of 42cm wide (square) by 25cm deep. Dig over the soil in the bottom of the hole so it is not compacted and the roots can get into the soil easily. For more information on how to plant, please see our Advice Page.
We recommend spacing them from 60cm apart (2 feet). Planting 60cm (2ft) apart will fill the gaps in between the hedging plants most quickly. If you can’t work out how many you need, use our Hedge Spacing Calculator to help you work it out.

The main reasons for planting a Photinia Red Robin hedge:
Photinia Carre Rouge can make a good hedge with bright red new growth. Here are some factors to consider:
Appearance: Photinia hedges are known for their vibrant, reddish new foliage that adds a splash of colour to your garden or outdoor space. The young leaves mature to a glossy dark green. This evergreen nature ensures year-round screening and privacy.
Growth Rate: Photinia generally has a moderate to fast growth rate, allowing it to establish a hedge relatively quickly. Regular pruning can help maintain the desired height and shape.
Maintenance and Density: Photinia hedges need to be trimmed regularly (at least twice a year) to keep them dense, otherwise they can become a bit more open than other evergreen hedges such as Laurel, Portugal Laurel or Griselinia. The regularly trimming with ensure new shoots are produced and this also means you will get more flushes of vibrant red leaves.
Soil and Sun Requirements: Most Photinia varieties prefer well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade to thrive. However, they can tolerate a range of soil conditions.
