Pieris shrubs grow and flower best when planted in full sun or partial shade. They will grow in deep shade, but generally do not flower as well, and the new foliage growth is usually not as brilliant. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch.
Where should I plant my Pieris?
Pieris are best planted in well-drained soil of loam and sand within an acidic PH balance. They are best positioned in an area of full sun or part shade, with protection from strong winds. Pieris should be planted between June and September.
Does Pieris need ericaceous compost?
Pieris Japonica, of which there are over 100 known cultivars, is native to Japan and thrives in acidic (ericaceous) soil and usually prefers sunlight or partial shade. If you don’t have acidic soil, you can grow Pieris Japonica in pots using ericaceous compost.
