Pieris japonica 'Flaming Silver'

It sometimes happens that the plants most appealing to pollinators aren't as valued by home gardeners. This Japanese andromeda fortunately checks the boxes for humans and local bees and butterflies alike. 'Flaming Silver' sends out racemes of fragrant white, bell-shaped flowers in early spring, providing food for early foragers and enchanting gardeners who weary of winter. New foliage emerges a vibrant red, adding color to the garden when we most need it, standing out in stark contrast to the older deep green, variegated leaves. The dense, mounding habit of this evergreen shrub provides safety for small critters while adding year-round interest to the home garden. Pieris can handle full sun if watered deeply and regularly, but may scorch in the late afternoon sun.
