Photinia Fraseri Pink Crispy is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant pink and red-tipped new foliage that contrasts beautifully against rich, deep green mature leaves. This eye-catching variety offers all-year-round colour and interest, making it a standout addition to any garden setting.

A fast-growing and fully hardy hedge plant, Photinia Pink Crispy is both wind resistant and low maintenance. It performs brilliantly as a privacy hedge, boundary hedge, or natural screening shrub, while also making an impressive ornamental specimen in borders, containers, or as a compact patio plant. Its manageable growth habit makes it particularly well suited to smaller gardens where colourful evergreen screening is desired without sacrificing space.

Regular light pruning in late spring and summer encourages repeated flushes of vivid new growth, keeping the plant looking fresh and colourful throughout the growing season.
