Dig a hole twice the width of the root-ball and at the same depth. Backfill with a mixture of garden soil and compost, firming gently around the base. Water thoroughly after planting and keep well-watered during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. A mulch around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the Magical Volcano variety, a naturally compact cultivar within the Photinia family, offering the same striking red foliage as the classic Red Robin but in a more manageable size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accelopack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55543039885697,"sku":"COL-3L-PHO-MAG-VOLX1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/0854\/7722\/files\/file_e95dfd5f-1537-4ef1-b0a9-9959bb434615.png?v=1776586223","url":"https:\/\/www.hopeplants.com\/products\/col-3l-pho-mag-volx1","provider":"Hope Plants Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
