Photinia fraseri 'Carré Rouge'
The Photinia fraseri 'Carré Rouge' is an attractive evergreen shrub that stands out with young leaves that appear in a vibrant red and then transition to a rich green. This cultivar is particularly appreciated for its compact and rounded growth form, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who love vibrant color and structure in their garden all year round.
The 'Carré Rouge' plants are supplied with a height of 80 to 100 cm, excluding the pot. These are ideal for creating a striking garden display or a dense hedge. We recommend planting 2 plants per meter with a spacing of approximately 20 cm to form a hedge 10 meters long. The plants are grown in a pot with a diameter of 30 cm, which promotes the quality and stability of the plants.
