Description

A fiery garden delight! Fresh foliage erupts in a rich red across this evergreen shrub, easy to grow and impressive, offering months of interest. Flame-like young foliage evolves through pink and cream shades, reaching a glossy green in summer. Then, late spring brings clusters of creamy, bell-shaped flowers.

Very easy to grow and fully hardy, with just occasional spent flower removal needed and a light trim every couple of years to keep shape. Young foliage can be damaged by severe winter frost, so will perform best in a sheltered spot.

Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant. Reaching an eventual height of 4m, and a spread of 2.5m.

Top Tips
  • Pieris do best in acid soil, so make an ideal candidate for growing in a pot in ericaceous soil.
Care Information
  • Pieris are fully winter hardy, however young growth can be damaged by frost so they are best placed in a sheltered position. Pieris can also be grown in partial shade, so are ideal for a woodland border.
  • Pieris do not require pruning - a simple tidy up of any spindly or damaged branches or spent flowers is all that is needed in late spring after flowering.
  • One essential requirement when growing any variety of Pieris is for acid soil and if feeding, and ericaceous feed only.
  • Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
