Growing and Caring for Photinia

Caring for your photinia is simple. They thrive in well-draining soils and prefer a sunny to lightly shaded position—though they tolerate partial shade as well. For the best foliage colour, plant your photinia in full sun. Regular pruning encourages denser growth and more vibrant new leaves. Mulching during dry spells and an annual feed with a balanced fertiliser will keep your plants thriving.
