#ProPlantTips For Care

Loving the full sun, these evergreen shrubs appreciate afternoon shade in the hotter of the USDA climate zones of 5 - 9.

Tolerating well-drained soils, even slightly acidic soil, Pieris needs consistent moisture in average garden soil. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Prune after the early spring blooms are done so you won’t inadvertently remove next year’s flower buds!
