Description
Photinia x fraseri 'Corallina' is a much more compact bush similar to the 'Red Robin' variety. The vivid red young foliage contrasts with the green of the mature leaves. Reaching a maximum height of 1.50m, it is ideal for container cultivation as well as for mass planting.
This evergreen Photinia has a bushy, rounded, and ramified habit, with alternate, slightly dentate, vivid red, then shiny green leaves, measuring approximately 6cm (2.4in). The foliage is smaller than its cousin, the 'Red Robin'. In March, clusters of small white flowers appear at the ends of the young branches and can reach 10cm (3.9in) in diameter.
The fast-growing Photinia x fraseri 'Corallina' tolerates all types of well-drained, fertile, moist to dry soil, in sunny or semi-shaded locations. It is an easy-to-cultivate and maintain bush that can withstand temperatures down to -18°C when exposed to the sun.
Photinia x fraseri 'Corallina' is highly decorative when planted alone or in mass plantings, alongside white spring-flowering shrubs such as Spirea or Mock Orange.
Tips: Avoid soils that are too chalky or clayey. Pruning for balance is necessary in summer.

Planting and care
Photinia x fraseri 'Corallina' should be planted in spring or autumn in any deep, fertile and well-drained soil. It prefers a sunny or semi-shaded exposure, sheltered from cold and strong winds. Adding compost is necessary at planting. Water well for the first two years, once or twice a week. Mulch the soil to keep it slightly moist in summer and protect the base in winter. Prune in summer to balance the habit, cutting back half of the branches. This will promote the growth of young red leaves in autumn. In humid weather, photinias can be affected by a fungus (entomosporiosis). Keep an eye on the leaves, if red to black spots appear, treat with Bordeaux mixture.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
