Acid Loving Pieris for Garden or Container

Acid Loving Pieris for Garden or Container

Red leaved Pieris

The flowers on Pieris hang like clusters of small white bells not unlike the flowers of Lily of the Valley. The flowers attract bees in May, June or July and are often quite abundant.

The young leaves are the main attraction for me with the strong red that matures slowly through pink and cream to green over the season. The bush can grow 4 feet tall and spread about 3 feet but is worth the space. Prefering acid soil it will grow in a neutral soil or in a container filled with ericaceous compost.

Mountain Fire and Forest Flame are two varieties that I have growing in the garden. Flaming Silver has a white edge to the mature leaf.  The darkest red leaf is grown on Valley Valentine and Flamingo has rose pink flowers.
