| Lore | The tiny bell shaped flowers similar to that of heather and manzanita are indicators that Pieris is a member of the Ericaceae family. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Slow growing to 4 to 6 ft. tall and wide. |
| Bloom Time | Spring |
| Design Ideas | Pieris is happiest when sheltered by the canopy of a large shade tree. Use to flesh out barren areas beneath specimen trees and groves. Makes a fine sideyard shrub that can be viewed at close range from windows. A superior choice for woodland homes seeking shrubs that thrive in acidic soils. Suited to Asian inspired gardens and for sheltered locations such as courtyards. |
