Oriental Photinia

Plant Type:

DECIDUOUS SHRUBS

Photinia villosa This is the old-fashioned, seldom offered Oriental Photinia. Well, what’s old again becomes new again! This is a great low maintenance broad, rounded multi-stemmed shrub with long branches. The season begins with an attractive display of axillary cream-white corymbs about 1” to 2” diameter in spring among the new leaves. What the flowers lack in size they make up for in numbers. Dark green leaves are handsome and understated changing to rich red to bronze-maroon in autumn. Persistent bright red pomes dangle from pedicels in autumn. Easy, handsome and it gets better with age. Site it in part to full sun planted in fertile draining soil. Fireblight may be an issue in warmer climates. Cutting grown.
