Description
PIERIS - The Pieris Forest Flame is an evergreen compact shrub with glossy dark green foliage on the lower part of the plant. Its famous younger foliage at the top starts out a brilliant red, later turning pink and then cream, finishing off green. It also produces masses of pollen rich white bell, lily of the valley shaped flowers in the Spring, loved by bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. PLANT GIFT - This foliage outdoor plant comes in a 2L plastic growing pot displayed in a lovely hessian gift bag with red organza bow, making it an excellent garden gift for plant and garden lovers at Christmas. An optional gift message can be added to complete this perfect gardening gift. We cannot guarantee the foliage colours as it depends on individual plant growth and climate.GROWING - Pieris Forest Flame is an easy to care for bushy outdoor plant that can grow to an eventual height of 400 cm with a spread of 200 cm. This hardy shrub requires a sheltered location in full sun to semi dappled shade. It is ideal for growing in a pot or container or for filling gaps in garden borders in moist well draining acid soil. If the soil conditions are more alkaline, mixing in some ericaceous compost will help increase the acidic levels in the soil.ONGOING CARE - This shrub is low maintenance, so pruning is usually not always necessary but it can be done to maintain the plants health and appearance. Most of the time, Pieris will only require pruning to remove any dead, damaged or diseased material. The best time to prune is right after the shrub has finished flowering. Pruning at this time will not disrupt the next season's blooms.CARBETH PLANTS - We are a Scottish based company with over 20 years experience in horticulture.
