Product Description

Pieris 'Forest Flame', also known as Andromeda, is a compact evergreen shrub that produces brilliant flame red foliage that develops to a pink and cream colour before finally settling to present a vivid green display. Pretty bell-shaped creamy-white flowers bloom in large clusters from April through to May, where they can be planted within patio pots and containers or used within the border to add character and texture to garden displays, reaching an eventual height of 1.5m. This colourful shrub is an RHS Holder of Garden Merit for its striking colour, reliability and resistance to disease. We recommend planting in sunny locations within well-drained, rich soil where they will thrive. 9cm pots plants supplied.
