Photinia Dark Knight, Dark Knight Photinia, Red Tips Shrub Dark Knight, Christmas Berry Dark Knight

Photinia Dark Knight is a shrub often used for hedging due to its colourful and dense foliage. New growth is glossy and dark red, and ages to become mid-dark green which results in a plant with dual colouring through spring and summer. This quick growing evergreen typically reaches 3 m tall and 2 m wide, but is commonly trimmed to sizes significantly less than this. Photinia Dark Knight is commonly grown as an attractive and dense hedge but is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening, and as a backdrop for smaller plants.
