You can't help being intrigued by the outstanding landscape color this plant will provide throughout the season. Like most Pieris, 'Flaming Silver' blooms in late April with an abundance of white flowers borne on drooping stems at branch ends. The big difference is that this selection blooms against the backdrop of deep green leaves bordered by a distinct, creamy white border that gives the plant a silver sheen that is unmistakable. Even better, once flowering is done, new foliage emerges a fiery red color that puts most flowers to shame with its brilliance. Deer resistant and desirous of at least partial shade, this is a plant that you're going to love!
