Pieris Forest Flame

It's looking lovely PG. I moved mine a few weeks ago as well i'm hoping it won't be to hot it's in the full sun .........

Thanks Amy...Mine is in the sun too, I'll have to put a brolly up if it gets too much for it! Hahaha....only got one patch to put plants so I just give 'em a go and see...

We will keep our fingers crossed PG . LOL........

It's worked brilliantly, masses of little bells, lovely.

Thanks Gee. Yes, what a difference.

this is beautiful Pg.........

Thanks BB, I am chuffed that moving it made such a difference...

It's amazing isn't it PG how moving a plant can make such a big difference. I've done it here and 'things happen' and it's brilliant!

This Pieris is looking wonderful so no wonder you're chuffed:0)

I moved it backwards about 4', that's all! It has to still face the same direction, as I only have one area to put my pots.

thats looking great

Thanks Eileen....

Lol!! Bonkers, but if it works.....

Thanks for posting this. I have a Pieris in a pot but it never seems to do well. It grows, but the flowers never come out like yours. I will try your trick and see what happens.

Rachell ~ have a look at my blog 'Moving a potted plant....' ~ there you will see how bad it was last year!

Pleased this has been of help to you..... :o)

Lovely! I've just bought one which looks very similar but it's not "forest flame". Sainsbury's (unusually for them) had got the labels mixed up. It's flowering, like yours but it looks to me as if there are two different ones in the pot. They might be "debutante" and "bonfire" but then again, they might not! I might get it planted today, but soil-changing etc. is involved...Incidentally, I bought it because the one I have already thrives in a similar position - part sun, part shade and a somewhat icy blast in Winter! (Balmy Dorset?)

You may have got 2 for the price of 1 there Volval then!
I have 2 other Pieris, Little Heath and Little Heath Green, they too have thrived in the same position this one is in.
