Pieris Japonica Passion (PBR) | 2L Pot

Burnished spring foliage. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, moist, well-drained acid soil or ericaceous compost Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy This acid-loving evergreen shrub is particularly eye-catching when the new foliage emerges a deep mahogany-red. At around the same time, clusters of small, urn-shaped pink and white flowers start to appear at the tips of the stems – and together the flowers and the coloured foliage put on a pretty dazzling display. Garden care: Add composted pine needles or ericaceous compost when planting. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of composted pine needles or bark each year around the base of the plant in early spring. Remove the faded flower-heads in late spring along with any frost-damaged foliage.
