Pieris ‘Flaming Silver’ – Variegated Japanese Andromeda Evergreen Shrub in #1 Container

Bring four-season elegance and vibrant color to your landscape with this live Pieris ‘Flaming Silver’, a variegated Japanese Andromeda prized for its fiery red spring growth, creamy white flowers, and evergreen silver-edged foliage. In spring, brilliant red new leaves emerge dramatically against mature dark green foliage trimmed in bright silver-white variegation, creating striking seasonal contrast.

During late winter to early spring, cascading clusters of creamy white bell-shaped flowers appear beneath the foliage, attracting pollinators. This compact, upright, and naturally dense shrub grows approximately 3–4 feet tall and wide, ideal for woodland gardens, foundation plantings, mixed borders, shaded patios, and decorative containers.

Deer resistant and low maintenance, this evergreen shrub provides year-round structure, color, and texture in shaded landscapes. You will receive a healthy live plant originally grown in a #1 container, securely packaged for safe arrival.
