Product description
Photinia Little Fenna is an evergreen shrub with a gorgeous contrast of colour on show. Its leaves form a bright pink shade when new, before fading to a dark green over time. They both complement each other very well, and are accompanied by cream flowers in late Spring. The compact way this plant grows makes it a very charming plant to include in your garden as a small bush. This hardy variety is guaranteed to brighten up any space you place it in whether that be within a border, pot or container.
Whilst this Photinia would make for a colourful low hedge, it must be kept in its most preferred conditions to thrive. This includes a position of full sun or partial shade, sitting in almost any soil as long as it is moist and well-drained. It must also be watered when the soil is dry to touch.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a growers pot.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Photinia benefits from annual pruning to maintain a dense, attractive shape and encourage vibrant red growth in spring.
How to Water
Water Photinia regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Once established, reduce watering frequency as they are relatively drought-tolerant.
How to Plant
Plant Photinia in well-drained soil, ideally in full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in the hole, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is well settled around the roots.
