Product description
This Pieris Forest Flame shrub produces bright red foliage when young, before taking on a mix of pink and cream, to then turn green in Summer. The change in leaf colour is eye-catching and is joined by cream, bell-shaped flowers when they bloom in Spring. The plant is evergreen, meaning it will perform well throughout all seasons of the year, making it ideal to put in any flower beds, informal gardens, pot, container and more.
Pieris plants prefer to be placed in full sun or partial shade. The soil they are planted in should be acidic or moderately fertile soil and kept moist, well-drained and regularly watered to a light level so it continues to thrive and flourish all-year-round.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Pieris thrives in acidic soil and partial shade, so avoid planting in full sun or alkaline soil for best results.
How to Water
Water Pieris plants regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. During hot months, ensure the soil doesn't dry out, but avoid overwatering. Reduce watering once the plant is established.
How to Plant
Plant Pieris in well-drained, acidic soil with good organic matter. Choose a partially shaded spot and dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant in the hole with the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil and backfill with soil.
