Answer:
Your Photinia is a lovely shrub which doesn't grow too big (400cm max). It is evergreen and the new growth in spring is bright red. It likes full sun or partial shade and is fully hardy. However, watch out for late frost which may damage young leaves. It may be best to plant it in a sheltered position. It prefers a well-drained but moist soil. Its feeding requirements are not anything special. Just add mulch in the autumn.
