Pieris japonica 'Mountain Fire'
Pieris japonica ‘Mountain Fire’, known as Japanese andromeda ‘Mountain Fire’, is an ornamental evergreen shrub with a compact and dense habit, particularly appreciated for the spectacular intensity of its young foliage. In spring, its new shoots emerge a brilliant scarlet red, creating a striking contrast with the glossy dark green mature foliage. Its spring bloom consists of hanging clusters of small, elegant, pure white, bell-shaped flowers, reminiscent of lily of the valley. Pieris japonica ‘Mountain Fire’ prefers partial shade and acidic, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Ideal for borders, foundations, or woodland gardens, it offers prolonged ornamental interest thanks to its evergreen foliage and particularly vibrant spring coloration.
