Description
Photinia 'Nana' is a dwarf form of the famous Photinia 'Red Robin', used in hedges. Tolerating repeated pruning well, compact, slower growing than 'Red Robin', and easy to grow, it is appreciated for its young leaves beautifully coloured red in spring, which contrast pleasantly with the mature leaves of a shiny dark green.
Photinia 'Nana' combines qualities, both ornamental and cultural. First of all, it is one of the few evergreen bushes offering young foliage strongly coloured red. Then, its good tolerance to repeated pruning, which promotes the appearance of bright red shoots, as well as the density of its vegetation, perfect for quickly forming a low, colourful hedge throughout the year. But when left unpruned, 'Nana' truly shines: dressed in red and green in spring and autumn if you prune after flowering, it provides a fragrant spring flowering, with frothy umbels of cream-white-pink, very pleasant. So many reasons to plant it in an informal, evergreen or mixed hedge, associated with other equally easy-to-grow shrubs!
The Fraser Photinia is an old horticultural creation born in 1940 in the United States. It is the result of cross-breeding between Photinia glabra, native to Japan, and Photinia serrulata, native to China. This hybrid has given rise to some famous cultivars, including the New Zealand 'Red Robin', widely planted in our parks and gardens and on highway embankments.
Reaching an average height of 1 to 2m (3 to 7ft) with a spread of 1 to 1.5m, Photinia 'Nana' has a compact habit and shows moderate growth. Its well-branched vegetation is adorned with evergreen foliage all year round, consisting of tough and glossy leaves. Arranged alternately on the branches, they are about 6-8cm (2-3in) long and 4cm (2in) wide, finely toothed at the edges. Their colour changes from bright red to bright green and dark green in summer. In May-June, clusters of small, somewhat uncertain white flowers appear, reaching 15cm (6in) in diameter, mostly at the ends of the branches. Rich in nectar, they are highly visited by bees.

Planting and care
Photinia x fraseri 'Nana' is planted in spring or autumn in any deep, moist to occasionally dry in summer, fertile and well-drained soil. It appreciates a sunny or semi-shaded exposure, sheltered from cold and brisk winds. It also tolerates shady exposures, although at the expense of flowering and the intensity of the colouration of young foliage. Adding compost is necessary for planting. Water well for the first two years, once or twice a week, especially in hot and dry weather during summer. Mulch the soil to keep it cool in summer in warm regions and protect the base in winter in cold regions. Note that once well established, Photinia x fraseri tolerates summer drought, even in the South where it is often planted. Prune in summer to balance the habit, cutting back half of all branches. This will promote the regrowth of young red leaves in autumn and will not compromise spring flowering. Note that climates with less contrasted, humid, and cool seasons promote the growth of photinias and the renewal of young red shoots, which can then be produced throughout the year.
Photinia is generally a robust plant with few enemies. However, in humid weather or, on the contrary, in certain dry and poor soils, Photinias can be affected by a fungus (entomosporiosis), powdery mildew. Watch out for leaves, if red or black spots appear, treat with Bordeaux mixture. The species can transmit bacterial fire to other more sensitive Rosaceae. Vine weevils can also nibble on the edge of leaves at night, while their larvae can attack the roots: treat the soil with nematodes that parasitize the larvae.

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).
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 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.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
