Photinia serrulata 'Pink Crispy'
Photinia serrulata 'Pink Crispy' is a spectacular evergreen hedging plant that delivers year-round visual drama with its brilliant pink and copper new growth. This premium cultivar stands out from traditional photinias with its intensely coloured, crisp-textured foliage that emerges in vivid shades of pink and red before maturing to glossy dark green.
Imagine the impact of a hedge that constantly renews itself with flushes of vibrant colour throughout the growing season — each wave of new growth brings fresh pink tones that contrast beautifully against the established dark foliage. In spring, clusters of creamy white flowers add another layer of interest, followed by red berries that attract wildlife to the garden.
