She prefers lots of light, so try to plant her in a sunny spot. She'll tolerate a bit of shade, too
She would prefer a free draining soil that also retains moisture. Try digging garden compost or well-rotted manure into her soil so it'll drain more easily.
Give her a good pruning after growth season (summer) by cutting a few inches off her branches with a pair of sterilised shears or scissors.

Hailing from South and East Asia, Photinia fraseri has become one of the most popular ornamental shrubs on this side of world. It's no wonder why: it's a stunner. It's amazing Christmas-y flowers ripen in the fall, and keep the yuletide vibes going well after the new year. It's botanical name comes from the Greek 'photeinos', meaning 'shiny' - a nod to the super-glossy green leaves. We love the way it brightens up our gardens for minimal effort.
