Red foliage on an evergreen shrub isn’t a common occurrence. Neither is the appearance of lacy weeping chains of flowers in crisp white. The combination of the brilliant new foliage and those exquisitely fine cut blooms make this Japanese Pieris a very handsome shrub for both your yard and garden. This superior large leaf evergreen shrub is right at home with your rhododendrons and azaleas. The impact of the mounds of flowing white blooms makes this landscape shrub simply outstanding.

Pieris is a distant cousin to the rhododendron family of plants.
Mountain Fire is the most outstanding of all available Pieris shrub varieties. You will love how easy to grow this beautiful evergreen really is. They prefer acidic soil that is very well drained but isn’t demanding over the type of soil it is planted in. You don’t need to get out those shears to keep Mountain Fire Pieris looking lovely. This medium sized shrub is most beautiful left to grow in a natural shape. Except for the odd wild shoot it may sometimes grow, you shouldn’t need to do any pruning at all to this member of your landscaping.

Mountain Fire Pieris has excellent pest and disease resistance.
Making this not only one beautiful specimen shrub but also one that is very low maintenance. You won’t need to spray a bunch of scary chemicals around to enjoy an always perfect looking Mountain Fire Pieris. You will also enjoy great drought tolerance from this Pieris bush, once it has established well in your soil. For the first several years, it is highly recommended that you water it regularly but not necessarily heavily. They exhibit their best drought tolerance after growing close to mature size.

In warmer climates, Mountain Fire Pieris needs no winter wind protection.
While this lovely landscape plant has good northern hardiness, it is advisable to situate your Mountain Pieris where it is sheltered from the frigid winter winds from the North and West. You can pick a light shade to full shade spot to enjoy this brightly colored bloomer, but stick with only early morning sun exposure. The hot afternoon sun could scorch the lovely foliage later in the summer. Because Mountain Fire will only grow to about 4-feet tall, you’ll be able to use it under windows and to line driveways without worrying about whacking it down to size.
