Mr Maple Pieris japonica Mountain Fire

The 'Mountain Fire' typically reaches a mature height and spread of about 6 feet. It grows at a moderate pace, making it manageable for most residential garden beds.

No, the signature fiery red color is specific to the plant's new growth. As the leaves mature, they transition into a deep, glossy green that persists throughout the rest of the year.

This variety is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8. If you live within these zones, it should tolerate the winter temperatures well, provided it is planted in a suitable location.

You will see blooms in the spring. The plant produces abundant, bell-shaped white flowers that create a striking contrast against the foliage.

While it arrives in a 1-gallon container, it is primarily intended for landscape planting. If you choose to keep it in a pot, ensure the container is large enough to accommodate its eventual 6-foot size and has excellent drainage.
