Pieris ‘Forest Flame’ is an evergreen shrub with attractive foliage. The leaves emerge red, fade to pink and cream and finally mature to glossy dark-green. It bears clusters of small, cream flowers in spring. This shrub requires an acidic soil. Mulch in spring and feed annually after flowering with a fertilizer suitable for ericaceous plants. Remove dead flower clusters so berries do not form. This will encourage better flowering the following year.

Height/Spread: 4m x 2.5m

Position: Full sun to partial shade

Soil: Moist but well-drained, acid.

Flowering Season: Spring.
