Description
Spectacular evergreen shrub with some of the best foilage interest. Easy to grow, fully hardy, and fiery red young leaves that mature to a rich and dark shade of green.
Delicate white flowers emerge in late spring on this variety, which is particularly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, hence why it has been labelled by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.
Easy to care for, with little attention needed apart from the removal of spent flowers and a light trim every couple of years to shape. Although fully hardy, this grows best in a sheltered spot, as the young foliage can be susceptible to severe frost damage and high winds. Plant in borders or large patio pots. Best in acidic soil, so use ericaceous compost when growing in containers.
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 8-9cm pot, ready to plant.
Top Tips
- Pieris do best in acid soil, so make an ideal candidate for growing in a pot in ericaceous soil.

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.
