As the season progresses, the vivid foliage matures to a rich, glossy dark green, creating beautiful contrast in the landscape. In late winter to early spring, cascading clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers add elegant texture and early-season interest. Growing 4–6 feet tall and wide with a naturally dense, upright habit, ‘Mountain Fire’ is ideal for foundation plantings, woodland borders, and shaded entryways. Hardy in Zones 5–8 and thriving in well-drained, acidic soil, this deer-resistant shrub delivers bold color, year-round structure, and refined curb appeal with minimal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore About Pieris japonica 'Mountain Fire'\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShade loving plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms late winter into spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for woodland settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle specimen or hedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate grower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eJapanese Pieris Growing and Maintenance Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize in the spring after blooming with a food for acid-loving plants.  Can be harmful if ingested by people or animals.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 5-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePieris japonica 'Mountain Fire' Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/span\u003e: Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Moisture\u003c\/span\u003e: Average Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttributes\u003c\/span\u003e: Low Maintenance, Great Foliage, Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSeason of Interest (Flowering)\u003c\/span\u003e: Spring- Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":48823706878192,"sku":"Mountain Fire","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5680\/9200\/files\/rest_1_1_11574.webp?v=1770924890","url":"https:\/\/hunterdontree.com\/products\/mountain-fire","provider":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
