I moved house last month, and the plant I’ve been most grateful for in the garden is the one that provides us with plenty of privacy: Photinia × fraseri ‘Red Robin’.
Photinia is one of the best flowering plants for privacy, and right now, it’s covered in stunning white blooms – but what really stands out about its screening ability is the fact that the vibrant red-to-green foliage grows so tall, and at speed, too. We don’t even need a fence topper, because the 'Red Robin' goes above and beyond the fence. You forget that you even have neighbours.
