Photinia Little Red Robin

Photinia Little Red Robin hedge spacing

The Photinia Little Red Robin hedge spacing is generally 40 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 30 cm. However, going wider than 40 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge.
