Pieris Japonica Flaming Silver 20 Litre Pot 75/80cm Tall

Pieris japonica 'Flaming Silver' is an evergreen shrub renowned for its stunning foliage and beautiful spring flowers. This cultivar typically grows to about 1.2 to 2 metres (4-6.5 feet) in height and width, making it a great choice for smaller gardens or as a low hedge.

Key Features:

• Foliage: One of the most striking features of 'Flaming Silver' is its new growth, which emerges bright red, maturing to a stunning silver-green. The combination of the vivid new leaves and the mature foliage creates a beautiful contrast throughout the year.
• Flowers: In spring (March to May), 'Flaming Silver' produces clusters of small, bell-shaped, white flowers that hang in pendulous racemes. These flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies.
• Growth Habit: The plant has a compact, rounded growth habit, making it suitable for mixed borders, rock gardens, or as an accent plant in larger landscapes.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Prefers partial shade to full sun, although in hotter climates, it benefits from some afternoon shade to protect the foliage from scorching.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, acidic soils enriched with organic matter. It prefers a humus-rich substrate, similar to those found in woodland settings.
• Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain moisture in the soil while avoiding waterlogging.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK, 'Flaming Silver' can tolerate cold winters and is well-suited to most UK climates.

Landscape Uses:

'Flaming Silver' is an excellent choice for mixed borders, woodland gardens, or as a specimen shrub due to its striking foliage and fragrant flowers. It pairs beautifully with other acid-loving plants such as azaleas and rhododendrons, enhancing the visual appeal of the garden.

This cultivar's vibrant foliage and delightful flowers make it a favourite for gardeners looking to add year-round interest to their landscapes​
