Is this the best evergreen shrub to grow? #my 4 best varieties of Pieris! #best #shrubs #red #robin

One of Rogers favourite shrubs, unbeatable for spring colour, is the bushy evergreen shrub Pieris - with its beautiful Pink and red new growth!
In this video we look at Pieris Forest Flame, Flaming Silver, Wakehurst and Debutante - as well as a quick glimpse of the unusual flowering forms of 'Valley Valentine' and 'Pink delight'.
Roger also compares the dainty beauty of Pieris with the slightly more vigorous and increasingly Popular Photinia Red Robin.

I love these Roger, no ornamental shrub garden should be without one but of course in my mostly fruit garden sadly no space 😁. They certainly prefer a more acidic medium 👍

Love the blackbird in the background too.

Can someone tell me why my forest flame has flowered red twice this year, in February and July, it's never happened before and I have had it a long time, could it be down to climate change or have I just hit lucky and will it go red in March again next year, thanks. 🍀🐞🌺.

If the peiris is pruned in the summer will the new shoots be that lovely vivid red or is that just something that occurs in the spring?
