Pieris japonica Forest Flame is an evergreen shrub which provides a valuable addition to the ericaceous garden, going well with plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. The combination of long lasting red young growth and flowers provides good contrast against the back drop of the green leaves of rhododendrons. Accredited with the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
