Plant Pieris in Fall for Year-Round Interest

A Shrub for All Seasons

Pieris delivers continuous appeal: fall brings clusters of tiny pink, red, or white flower buds; mid-winter to mid-spring sees them open into delicate blooms. New spring growth emerges in vibrant reds and bronzy pinks, maturing to solid or variegated green that perfectly backs summer flowers.

Growing Needs

• Soil: Well-drained, acidic.
• Size: Most species reach 10 feet tall and wide.
• Timing: Plant now in mild-winter areas for establishment before summer.
