The Patio Photinia Tree Gift
- Few plants can rival photinia with its incredibly vivid red foliage, and that bold colour, paired with its evergreen, low-maintenance nature, makes this the perfect eye-catching gift.
- With its unusually intense leaf colour, photinia is a fabulous pick for maximalist, high-impact gardeners looking to turn heads and stop visitors dead in their tracks.
- Unsurprisingly, given how well it performs in British gardens, this photinia is a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, indicating its horticultural quality.
- Your photinia will be wrapped in a rustic hessian sheet, tied with a stylish bow and then placed into our premium packaging, which includes a full care booklet.
- This patio tree is incredibly easy to grow; position it in full sun or part shade, keep it well-watered and use a loamy compost like John Innes No.3 if growing in a container.

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Yes, the Patio Photinia can be easily grown in a pot, where its brilliant red new shoots will create a striking focal point on any patio.
How big does it get?
The Patio Photinia can be easily maintained at a height and spread of 1 to 1.5 metres with regular pruning.
How much sunlight does this need?
The Patio Photinia prefers full sun to partial shade, with brighter sunlight encouraging the most vibrant red colour in its new foliage.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
The Patio Photinia prefers a fertile, moist, and well-drained soil, and it performs best when the soil is not overly alkaline.
How much watering does this plant need?
The Patio Photinia requires regular watering during its first year to establish a deep root system, after which it is fairly drought-tolerant.
Will this plant need pruning?
The Patio Photinia should be pruned in spring and again in summer to encourage flushes of its brilliant red new foliage and maintain a bushy shape.
How hardy is this plant?
Photinia carries an RHS hardiness rating of H5, making it hardy down to -15°C. It is hardy through most of the UK, but cold winds can scorch young leaves, and container-grown plants may need pot protection during hard frosts.
