Pieris japonica Bisbees Dwarf

Bisbees Dwarf Andromeda

Bisbee Dwarf Andromeda brings small-scale foliage to an evergreen planting. Its compact growth carries leaves about half the usual size for Japanese pieris, with red young growth and white flowers.

The spring blossoms and fresh leaves make it useful near the front of a shrub border. Provide sun or partial shade and moist, acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Good drainage is important.
