Pieris japonica ‘Forest Flame’ – A Fiery Spring Show for Year-Round Impact

Pieris japonica ‘Forest Flame’ is one of the most striking evergreen shrubs you can grow, famed for its dazzling spring display. As winter fades, the plant erupts into growth with fresh leaves of intense scarlet-red, a burst of colour so vivid it can be seen across the garden. Over the following weeks, these young shoots fade gracefully through shades of warm pink, soft cream, and eventually settle into a glossy deep green, creating a continual display of changing foliage.

In April and May, this fiery foliage is complemented by cascading clusters of small, pure white, bell-shaped flowers. These blooms not only add elegance to the shrub but also provide early nectar for pollinators, making ‘Forest Flame’ both beautiful and beneficial for wildlife.

Compact and naturally tidy in habit, ‘Forest Flame’ is ideal for mixed borders, containers, or as a stand-alone feature plant. It thrives best in acid to neutral soils and enjoys partial shade, although it will tolerate full sun in cooler areas if the soil remains moist. Hardy and easy to care for, it provides structure, colour, and seasonal interest all year round with very little maintenance required.
