Pieris Japonica ‘Bonfire’

In early spring, clusters of pretty, dark pink flower buds open up to pale pink to white, nodding bell-like flowers resembling lily-of-the-valley. An acid lover, ‘Bonfire’ can be grown in a large pot filled with ericaceous compost if your soil is not suitable. This compact, evergreen pieris looks wonderful smouldering in a shady shrub border with well-drained acid soil, or a courtyard garden.
