Product information

Marshalls Garden Photinia ‘Pink Crispy’ is a colourful evergreen shrub trained as a half-standard, prized for its bright red-pink new foliage and cream-and-green marbled mature leaves. Hardy (H4, -10 to -5°C), low-maintenance and suited to sun or part shade, it creates a striking focal point in borders or large containers and frames entrances when planted either side of a path. Grows to around 1500-2000 mm and prefers moist but well-drained soil. Plant any time of year; water and feed until established and trim in summer if needed.

• Planting period – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December Flowering period – April, May, June
• Unpack and as long as the weather is favourable, put outside as soon as it arrives and give it a water. When ready to plant, ensure it’s positioned in the right location and aspect in the garden. Keep the area around it clear to avoid overcrowding which reduces its establishment and growth. Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy, mix in a soil improver before backfilling. We also recommend adding plant feed into the hole before back filling to help establishment and growth. Place the plant in the hole so that it sits at the same level in the ground as it did in the pot. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
• Keep it well watered and fed for establishment and growth. Trim in summer if needed
• H4 – Hardy through most of the UK (-10 to -5°C)
