Photinia glabra 'Parfait' (v)
Japanese photinia 'Parfait'
A medium- to large-sized evergreen shrub with glossy, oblong to oval shaped, leathery leaves that are bronze with pinkish margins when young, and mature to become green flecked with grey-green and develop a creamy white edge. Creamy white panicles of flowers in late spring and then red fruits. Not a vigorous variety but can make a handsome variegated evergreen specimen.
