More heat tolerant than the standard Pieris japonica, the Mountain Snow Pieris from the Southern Living Plant Collection earns its keep through striking foliage as well as a symphony of bell-shaped white blooms. New bronze-colored foliage matures to a dark emerald green; pendant panicles of petite buds appear in summer and last through winter before opening up in early spring with breath-taking pearly flowers. Plant the Mountain Snow where it will get partial shade and either morning or afternoon sun for best results.
For a seamless planting, plant your Mountain Snow Pieris 2 feet apart. For space between plantings, space them 3+ feet apart.

The plants arrived quickly and were extremely healthy. I had my landscaper put them in the ground about 10 days ago and they look great despite a few mornings of frost. I’m anxious to see them in bloom.

My plant arrived packed beautifully. It is very healthy and nice and green. So glad I read the reviews from the company that’s what made me decide on plants by mail.

I am happy to say that my Pieris plant arrived in excellent condition.
It was packaged quite securely and is very healthy!
Pieris Japonicas are one of my favorite shrubs. I certainly would recommend
Plants By Mail for purchasing any variety of healthy plants.

My first time ordering from Plants by Mail. Placed order for 3 plants on Sunday. They arrived on Wednesday. Big, healthy and beautiful plants. So glad I discovered Plants by Mail from HortTube with Jim Putnam.

Special plant. The leaves are beautiful dark glossy green. The blooms will be a plus. Looked really good when it arrived and doing very well since planted. Pleased with new plant.

I ordered 5 of these and planted them in the middle of a heat wave in soil amended for their preference. They were healthy and beautiful upon arrival, well packaged, and full of new growth. It has been about a month and they still look gorgeous! I only had to water them occasionally the first few weeks because we had 90 degree heat and no rain, but since then the occasional summer storm has satisfied their needs. I’m very impressed with these, and look forward to their heavenly scented blooms once they are well established!

The 2 mountain snow pieris shipped promptly and I received 2 very healthy plants. I planted them on the ground a week after receipt and they are doing very well in our dry heat with daily temperatures in the mid to high 90s.

This is a beautiful pieris. The foliage is worth the purchase with the blooms being a bonus.
