Photinia hedging or Photinia x fraseri 'Red Robin' hedging

Photinia makes a big impact to a garden boundary. In spring the new leaves are pillar box red that turn to deep green in winter. There is also the bonus of having a hedge that flowers as this plant will produce clusters of delicate white flowers in spring.

Photinias have a more open foliage than many evergreens. This allows wind to shiver slightly in the breeze giving a stunning effect to view.
