Photinia fras. 'Camilvy'

Photinia fraseri "Camilvy" is called glossy medlar in Dutch. It is a large, evergreen shrub with an upright shape and glossy, elliptical to obovate leaves. These first emerge brown-red and later they become dark green. Photinia likes a position in partial shade or sun, somewhat sheltered from harsh winds in winter and preferably not too calcareous soil. The plant is reasonably hardy, sea wind tolerant and air pollution resistant. It attracts many bees and bumblebees in the spring and is also a host plant for some butterfly species.
