Pieris 'Forest Flame' is an evergreen shrub grown for its vivid new growth and spring flowers. Fresh foliage emerges in bright red shades, creating a strong early-season display before gradually turning deep green as the leaves mature. In spring, hanging clusters of small white flowers appear beneath the foliage, adding contrast and texture. The plant forms an upright, well-branched shrub with steady growth and requires little pruning to maintain its shape. Best grown in acidic soil, this variety suits garden settings where year-round foliage interest and a defined seasonal colour change are key features.
