Scarlet O'Hara Japanese Pieris features dainty chains of white bell-shaped flowers hanging below the branches in early spring. It has attractive dark red-tipped dark green foliage which emerges scarlet in spring. The glossy narrow leaves are highly ornamental and remain dark green throughout the winter.

Scarlet O'Hara Japanese Pieris will grow to be about 7-8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.

This shrub does best in part sun to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates.
