Fire-N-Ice Pieris

The Fire n Ice Pieris is a medium-sized evergreen shrub that will reach at least 5 feet tall and wide. It has glossy leaves that are edged in white, creating a bright and interesting effect all year long. In spring long hanging trusses of white flowers like lily-of-the-valley grow from the end of every branch, even on young plants. The new leafy shoots are brilliant red, and they turn soft lime-green as they mature and begin to show their variegated white edges. This plant is excellent for open woodland areas, or for beds anywhere in the garden. It can also be grown in containers for many years.

• Beautiful year-round white edged glossy leaves
• Spectacular bright red young shoots in spring, turning lime green
• Long hanging clusters of white bell-shaped flowers in spring
• Excellent evergreen shrub for woodlands and garden beds
• Can be grown successfully in large pots and planters

The Fire n Ice Pieris grows in sun or partial shade, or in the dappled shade beneath trees. It should be grown in well-drained acidic soil enriched with plenty or organic material, and the soil should be moist but not wet. In planters use a soil blended for acid-loving plants. Pests and diseases are normally not an issue, and deer usually leave it alone. No pruning is needed to keep its dense and bushy form.
