Pieris mix

We have 3 varieties of Peiris Forest Flame, Mountain Fire and Little Heath. Pieris is an attractive and easy to grow showy spring Shrub. The most commonly grown and popular variety is Pieris japonica, illustrated above, which has varieties such as 'Firecrest' and ' Mountain Fire'. Pieris has bright red coloured new growth in the spring, which fades to a subtle pink and finally green. Many varieties of Pieris have long white flowers in the spring. The shape and mass of white flowers gives Pieris its common name of Lily of the Valley bush.

Pieris is an ideal shrub. It is evergreen providing coverall year round, and with several months of interest starting with the colourful red spring growth followed by attractive flowers. The new red growth appears in late February, and throughout March when the growth takes up colour and is at its brightest, and whilst that fades lovely flowers appear, usually, but not always white, in April and early May. Pieris requires no maintenance, and the only growing requirement is to be planted in acid soil.

Pieris grow to various sizes and some varieties can be very large; checking the size of a variety is an important planting point.

Although fully hardy, the young red growth can be damaged by frost and Pieris are best planted out of chilling winds. Pieris is tolerant of semi-shade and is tolerant of most garden conditions. Pieris look good planted with other acid loving shrubs such as Rhododendrons and Camellia to create a low maintenance shrub border.
Pieris do not require routine pruning. The shrub can be pruned if needed to tidy up any spindly branches or spent flowers. Pruning should be done in late spring after flowering.

The one, possibly only essential requirement when growing any variety of Pieris is to be planted in acid soil and if feeding, an ericaceous feed only.
