Forest Flame Pieris Japonica – Dramatic Flame-Red Foliage, White Flowers
Pieris japonica Forest Flame
Experience the striking appeal of Pieris japonica 'Forest Flame' — an evergreen shrub renowned for its fiery new growth. Young foliage emerges in brilliant red, developing pink and cream tones before maturing to a lush green. Its glossy, lean leaves provide year‑round structure, while dramatic panicles of white, bell‑shaped flowers rise above the foliage for seasonal interest.
Low maintenance and evergreen, this versatile shrub works well as a border specimen, woodland accent, or container display. It thrives in well‑drained, acidic soil and enjoys full sun to partial shade.
Mature size: up to 2.5 m tall and about 0.5 m wide. Supplied in 1 L and 2 L grower’s pots.
Planting notes: Full Sun/Partial Shade. More information: A low‑maintenance shrub once established. Remove any frost‑damaged foliage in late spring.
Safety: Harmful to humans and pets if eaten.
