Pieris 'Forest Flame'
(Pieris floribunda 'Forest Flame')

Pieris ‰ۡÌÝÌáForest Flame‰ۡó» is quite a big shrub, known for its evergreen foliage that starts in shades of red, slowly turning cream and pink, then eventually green.

Stunning, colour-changing foliage is a gorgeous feature found in Pieris ‰ۡÌÝÌáForest Flame,‰ۡó» as it covers reds, creams, pinks, and greens, during its growth. By late spring, the bush is also sprinkled with lovely, delicate, creamy-white coloured flowers, that nod like bells. With all the beautiful vivid colours and pretty flowers, the Pieris ‰ۡÌÝÌáForest Flame‰ۡó» is sure to spice up your garden.

It will reach an ultimate height and spread of 4m x 2m.

Please note, the Pieris ‰ۡÌÝÌáForest Flame‰ۡó» is toxic if ingested- you will need to wear gloves when handling the plant.

Pieris ‰ۡÌÝÌáForest Flame‰ۡó» should be planted in full sun or partial shade, and in loam, or sand-based soils, that is moist and well-draining. We also recommend having this shrub South, West, or East facing.

  • Growth rate: Slow
  • Ideal height: 4m Tall
  • Soil type: Loam, sand
  • Aspect: Full sun, semi-shade
  • Evergreen foliage? Yes

Prune any dead, diseased, or damaged shoots, then thin out the crowed shoots, as well as any that are badly positioned. Aim to remove about one-third of the old wood in total, when doing this. After pruning, we do recommend adding a bit of mulch and feed, to boost growth and protect the plant‰ۡó»s roots.

When should I plant Pieris Forest Flame hedging?

It is best to plant Pieris Forest Flame any time from June through to September, providing the plants get enough water to thrive well. We also recommend ensuring the plants are protected from any strong winds.

How far apart should I plant Pieris Forest Flame plants?

We recommend leaving a space of around 1.5ft (45cm), between each Pieris Forest Flame plant. This will ensure you're given a dense hedge within a reasonable amount of time.

For a hedge much quicker, you can go for up to 3 plants per metre (spacing of around 30cm between each plant), instead.̴Ì?

How to plant Pieris Forest Flame:

Begin by digging a hole that is twice the width of the root ball but the same depth. Place the plant in, and ensure it is in position correctly - the crown (base of stem), should be just below soil level. You want to make sure it is planted no deeper than it was in its pot (around 20-30cm deep works well).̴Ì?

Fill the hole back in, carefully patting down as you go along to remove any air pockets. Water well and lay around 2" mulch around the base of the plant, but a few good centimetres away from the stem.

Continually water the plant, on a regular basis, for the first 1-2 years after planting. We recommend watering around 2-3 times per week, or more so during warmer weather.

Root Types Summary

  • Bare Root
    Bare Root

    Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

  • Pot Grown
    Pot Grown

    Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

  • Root Ball
    Root Ball

    Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.

  • Instant Hedging
    Instant Hedging

    Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
