The Mountain Fire Pieris Shrub is an evergreen favorite prized for its fiery red new foliage and showy cascading clusters of white flowers. This unique shrub adds bold color and elegant form to shaded gardens, foundation plantings, and woodland landscapes. New leaves emerge in a vibrant scarlet hue in early spring, creating a striking contrast against mature dark green foliage. At the same time, fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers dangle in clusters, resembling delicate lily-of-the-valley blooms. This shrub is both deer-resistant and low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain its dense form. It prefers acidic, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, making it a natural companion for rhododendrons, azaleas, and ferns. Whether planted as a focal point or in mass groupings, Mountain Fire offers year-round interest and elegance.
