An outstanding evergreen shrub for year-round structure, it produces brilliant red young foliage in spring and again in late summer, maturing to a deep, glossy green. Ideal for formal hedging, screening, or as a bold standalone specimen in a border or large container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose 'Carré Rouge'\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriking scarlet-red new growth in spring and late summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, dense habit — easier to manage than standard \u003cem\u003ePhotinia\u003c\/em\u003e varieties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossy, deep green mature foliage provides excellent year-round screening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponds well to clipping — ideal for formal hedges and topiary shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen — maintains privacy and structure through winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClusters of small white flowers in late spring add seasonal interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade; best colour in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained; tolerates most soil types including clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy (RHS H5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltimate height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5–2m; easily kept smaller with regular trimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clip in late spring after flowering, and again in late summer to encourage fresh red growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant in full sun for the most intense red colouring on new growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace at 60–80cm apart for a dense, formal hedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulch around the base after planting to retain moisture and suppress weeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed with a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to support vigorous new growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormal and informal evergreen hedging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear-round screening along boundaries and fences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecimen planting in borders or large containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-maintenance gardens requiring structure and colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown and dispatched from Stoneybrook Nursery.
