Photinia × fraseri Louise ('Mclarlou') (PBR)
photinia
A relatively fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree with striking, bright red new shoots that mature to an attractive marbled variegation containing green, pink, creamy-white colourings. ‘Louise’ has a compact, dense form making it a perfectly proportioned little tree for sheltered small gardens and patio pots requiring year-round interest. In late spring, white flowers appear in clusters and provide an additional burst of beauty. Photinia can be lightly clipped to form an impressive evergreen hedge at maturity, or as a fast-growing barrier plant to hide eyesores or provide screening for privacy.
