Overview

The evergreen foliage of this distinctive form is heavily marbled green and cream, and like the other photinias, the newly emerging foliage is a bright pinkish red. Therefore the overall effect is very colourful, particularly in spring. Another noteworthy feature is its compact growth, eventually reaching approximately 6' in height. This makes it ideal for larger pots as well as borders and hedging. Please note that the pots in the photos are not sent out with the plants, which will arrive in a nursery pot.

Care guide

To encourage a profusion of bright young leaves in late spring or summer shorten the stems of established specimens by up to 15cm (6in), to just above an outward-facing bud in spring. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.

Humans/Pets: Fruit are ornamental - not to be eaten

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
