Flaming Silver Pieris is a slow-growing evergreen shrub with an upright spreading habit and glossy dark green foliage with a silvery boarder that emerges a fiery red. Clusters of drooping clear white bell-flowers bloom in spring as the new foliage emerges. Best bloom in part sun with slightly acidic and moist well-drained soils.
