| Early each spring the new foliage emerges bright red, hence the name. Long-lasting chains of white flowers follow the showy new foliage. 'Mountain Fire' has the North American species P. floribunda in its lineage, which lends it more excellent hardiness to grow further north. Requires good drainage in humus-rich acidic soil. Lily-of-the-valley shrub has almost unlimited uses in the landscape. They are often used in plantings of rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias. However, the plants are very showy in shrub borders or when used as foundation shrubs around the home. |
