Instructions
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.
