Photinia × fraseri | Red Tip Photinia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Photinia × fraseri produces clusters of small white flowers in mid to late spring, the blossoms forming rounded heads along the branch tips. The blooms appear above glossy evergreen foliage that emerges bright red before maturing to deep green. New growth often continues to flush with red tones during the growing season, creating layers of color across the plant. Oval leaves with finely serrated edges form a dense canopy along the stems.

This hybrid originated from a cross between Photinia glabra and Photinia serratifolia, both native to eastern Asia. In gardens it provides evergreen structure for hedges, borders, and screening where the colorful new growth and spring flowers add seasonal interest.
