Pieris Forest Flame is an attractive shrub grown for both its foliage and flowers. This compact, rounded shrub produces reddish-purple flower buds that first open as soft-pink then mature to white. The flowers are mildly fragrant and these are produced from winter through spring. New growth in spring is bright red which then fades to pink and cream before aging to pale green. Pieris Forest Flame makes for a superb specimen in a small garden and is well suited to growing in a container, adding to mixed plantings, formal gardens, for border planting, or planting around the barbecue area.

Pieris Forest Flame Details

Pieris Forest Flame is an attractive shrub grown for both its foliage and flowers. This compact, rounded shrub produces reddish-purple flower buds that first open as soft-pink then mature to white. The flowers are mildly fragrant and these are produced from winter through spring. New growth in spring is bright red which then fades to pink and cream before aging to pale green. It typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide, growing best on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. Leaf colouring and flowering will be reduced as the levels of shade are increased and it is frost hardy once established. Pieris Forest Flame makes for a superb specimen in a small garden and is well suited to growing in a container, adding to mixed plantings, formal gardens, for border planting, or planting around the barbecue area.
