Pieris “Forest Flame” – a shade-loving shrub
This is a stunning plant that’s extremely easy to grow (surprisingly) and is super happy to stay in a shady spot. Its bright-red foliage makes it a great asset to woodland gardens because it adds a bit of color.
However, make sure to protect this plant from frost while they’re still young, and find a proper spot with moderately fertile, rich, and very well-drained and acidic soil. The plant is quite common, so you won’t have a hard time finding it.
What you need to keep in mind is that it needs to be planted in the right location. Just as an azalea, it would prefer a more acidic, moist, but well-drained soil.

I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?
