Pieris japonica, also known as Japanese Pieris, Japanese Andromeda, or Lily-of-the-Valley Plant, is a hardy and versatile evergreen shrub that provides excellent color and interest throughout the season. During the spring season, bell-shaped, lily-of-the-valley-like blooms provide cascading color to signal the beginning of the new season. But this isn\u2019t the only show that Japanese Pieris provides. New foliage that appears during the growing season emerges in fantastic shades of bronze to bright red, depending on the variety you\u2019ve chosen, before settling into their natural rich green color. The mix of green foliage with red new growth and bright white flowers makes varieties like\u00a0Pieris japonica<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Mountain Fire\u2019 a popular choice for many gardeners.<\/p>\n

For those of you struggling to find a good color option for your shade gardens, Japanese Pieris may fit the bill, as they prefer partial shade to full sun. They thrive best in slightly acidic soil, so be sure to amend the planting soil with\u00a0Espoma Organic\u2019s Holly-tone<\/strong>\u00a0or other acid fertilizer to give the roots a good start.<\/p>\n

Meadows Farms carries a wide selection of Japanese Pieris\u00a0beginning in mid to late-March. Below is just a handful that you\u2019ll find. Please note that sizes and availability may be limited by location, so be sure to contact your local Meadows Farms nursery for pricing and availability information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
