Pieris japonica Bonfire

Pieris are compact, evergreen shrubs valued for their colourful young foliage. The produce sprays of spring flowers similar to lily-of-the-valley. They are ideal for woodland gardens and borders with acidic soil. Compact varieties also make excellent container specimens.

  • Planting: Plant in a semi-shade position, with dappled sunlight in the summer. Moist but well-drained soil, preferably acidic.
  • Care: No regular pruning required. Prune after flowering if shaping is needed. For container plants, feed every fortnight with an ericaceous feed.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
