Pieris japonica 'Forest Flame'
Pieris japonica 'Forest Flame', commonly known as Japanese andromeda 'Forest Flame', is a highly valued evergreen ornamental shrub renowned for its spectacular foliage and elegant flowering. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush with glossy dark green foliage that remains decorative all year round. In early spring, the shrub produces long, hanging clusters of small, bell-shaped white flowers reminiscent of lily of the valley. Soon after flowering, bright scarlet new shoots emerge, gradually transitioning to pink, bronze, and then dark green, creating a particularly striking multi-colored foliage effect. This succession of colors provides unique visual interest in the garden. Ideal for woodland gardens and acid-loving plant beds, this shrub prefers acidic, organic-rich, well-drained soil and partial shade.
