This plant possesses all the great gifts of other Pieris including deer resistance, dense rounded form, and April bloom, but adds a distinctly noticeable twist: amazing, deep pinkish-red flowers! ‘Valley Valentine’ exits the winter with deep red flower buds held in drooping strands above shiny, deep green foliage providing the start of a long, early spring of color that culminates in late April as buds open to strings of flowers that last into mid-May. New foliage emerges bronze, providing even more color on this evergreen that is perfect for partial shade areas.

Like its close relative ‘Passion’, ‘Passion Frost’ demands to be seen in the landscape and is very pesuasive in getting your attention. It lures you in with its deep pink mid to late April bloom featuring strings of small, bell shaped flowers that are a blast of color in an otherwise white Pieris blooming world. While ‘Passion Frost’ can’t boast as deep pink flowers as ‘Passion’, it does have something that its showier blooming cousin can only envy: sparkling, showy, strongly variegated foliage that keeps its color even in the heat of summer. Each ‘Passion Frost’ leaf is happy to show off a distinct, bright white, thin band around the outer edge that surrounds a deep green glossy center. It is an amazing, year round show for this evergreen that makes its striking bloom look even more outstanding. ‘Passion Frost’ craves a morning sun/afternoon shade location with moist, well drained soil and winter wind protection to thrive.

There is nothing in the plant world to raise a gardener’s passion that an introduced plant that does something new, different or better. ‘Passion’ is decidedly one of those plants that injects some pizzazz and hot flower color into the mostly white blooming world of Andromeda. ‘Passion’ is a heavy blooming beauty that sets upright to slightly pendulous strings of small flower buds at the end of almost every branch. These buds open in mid to late April with a show of deep, cerise-pink, bell shaped flowers in such numbers it could turn the Andromeda world upside down! While other varieties have pink flowers, ‘Passion’ has the deepest pink ones by far and in numbers that put these other pink pretenders to shame all on a dense, round, well-behaved plant with lustrous, deep green, evergreen foliage. It is the perfect deer resistant winner for a foundation planting or border planting in your landscape especially in a half day sun area that has winter wind protection.

Brilliant red new growth in mid-May makes for a stunning landscape feature. Slightly more upright than spreading, this deer-resistant plant is a dependable late March to mid-April bloomer with typical white Pieris flowers.

Looking for a small shrub that gives you more than just the right size? ‘Little Heath’ may be the plant you’re searching for with an overflowing resume of attributes that will make that small space of yours shine throughout the year. Great texture is this plant’s main calling card, with tiny, narrow, long leaves that create a dainty look while adding the attribute of year round color as each leaf has a narrow margin of creamy variegation that makes this little wonder shimmer in the landscape. Tiny spikes of white pendulous bell flowers top the foliage in mid-April adding another dimension to this plant’s beauty while new growth emerges in May with bronze colored tones that contribute even more to its season wide appeal. Plant ‘Little Heath’ in a wind protected morning sun, afternoon shade location for best results and enjoy this rare little treasure.

You can’t help being intrigued by the outstanding landscape color this plant will provide throughout the season. Like most Pieris, ‘Flaming Silver’ blooms in late April with an abundance of white flowers borne on drooping stems at branch ends. The big difference is that this selection blooms against the backdrop of deep green leaves bordered by a distinct, creamy white border that gives the plant a silver sheen that is unmistakable. Even better, once flowering is done, new foliage emerges a fiery red color that puts most flowers to shame with its brilliance. Deer resistant and desirous of at least partial shade, this is a plant that you’re going to love!

An even darker-leaved form than ‘Compacta’, this variety’s distinctly red winter flower bud color and pale pink blossoms from late March to mid-April make it stand out. Very hardy and deer-resistant.

A sure sign of spring, this plant blooms profusely from late March to mid-April with panicles of white, lily of the valley-like flowers. Deep, green, shiny foliage and a dense, compact form add to this plants’ landscape value. Deer-resistant.
