Photinia fraseri 'Little Red Robin' is a compact cultivar of the popular Photinia shrub. Known for its vibrant young red foliage that matures to a glossy green, this evergreen plant offers a dynamic color display throughout the seasons. Its smaller stature makes it ideal for gardens with limited space or for container cultivation, and its striking color contrast makes it a standout in various landscape designs.
