Photinia ‘Carre Rouge’ Instant Hedge

The Photinia ‘Carre Rouge’ Instant Hedge offers a striking, evergreen solution for colourful boundary planting. Known for its fiery red new leaves that gradually mature into glossy green, this compact hedge provides year-round structure, seasonal interest, and visual impact.

Supplied exclusively by Green-tech in 1-metre troughs with 5 healthy, pre-grown plants (70–90cm+ tall, 20–25cm foliage width), it delivers instant screening and tidy architectural lines on planting. ‘Carre Rouge’ is a smaller, more manageable alternative to the popular ‘Red Robin’, making it perfect for modern gardens, housing developments, urban green spaces, and commercial landscaping projects.

Its upright, bushy growth habit responds well to light pruning, allowing you to maintain a dense, vibrant hedge with minimal maintenance. Green-tech’s instant trough-grown hedges offer landscapers, gardeners, councils, and developers a reliable, ready-to-plant solution for colourful, low-maintenance boundaries.
