Pieris 'Flaming Silver'

Hybrid Pieris

Flaming Silver Pieris brings several colors to the same evergreen shrub. Fresh shoots open red, while older leaves settle to green with a bright, pale margin.

Its upright outline carries small ivory bells in spring. The contrasting leaf edges keep it noticeable after the flowers finish.

Plant in sun or partial shade with acidic soil rich in organic matter. Maintain drainage and protect young plants from severe winter exposure.
