pieris forest flame.

I grew one in a large pot....I had it in semi-shade...It stayed in the pot for about 10 years....it was beautiful but out grew its space so my sister planted it in her garden in semi-shade and its looking wonderful....:>)

Prefers full sun or light shade... ours is in he nearest thing to full sun in our garden.

Thank-you both I've just found the perfect spot.

You are welcome

Hi Tulsa, I don't know if I'm speaking out of turn here but it does need ericaceous compost (not sure of the spelling!) I found out by the lovely members here on GoY!

Thanks Ian got some of that.I'l sort it tomorrow.

I just thought I would pass on the info I got from other members here, just in case. Lol :~)))

Good point Ian... I sometimes assume folk know it needs acidic soil which isn't always the case ;-)

Why did you think you were speaking out of turn? any help is welcome when you don't know what you're doing.

Ian ~ hope your Pieris Forest Flame is doing well.

Blimey Ian that made me jump.!!!

It's huge TT thanks.
Tulsa, you should see the one on my photo's page!

I'm on my way now.

That's scary don't knock on my door.

Just want to interject here and say that actually, Pieris is another "woodland" plant that prefers dappled shade and moisture retentive, but free draining soil - so plant it somewhere out of full sun, say half and half.

Thankyou bamboo.
