Description
Pieris japonica ‘Mountain Fire’ is an evergreen, upright, multi-stemmed shrub, typically reaching 6–10 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide with a dense, pyramidal habit. Early spring produces striking clusters of urn-shaped white flowers along the stems, followed by new foliage that emerges bright red to copper, maturing to deep green through summer. The contrast between the fiery new growth and glossy mature leaves provides year-round interest. This shrub is ideal for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, massed borders, or as a specimen accent in partially shaded landscapes. Being evergreen, it maintains structure and color throughout the year.
