The Valley Valentine Pieris is a sturdy and reliable evergreen shrub growing 4 feet tall and wide, and ultimately passing 6 feet. It has leathery, dark-green leaves, which are orange-bronze when newly emerging in spring. The flowers are carried in profuse heavy clusters of hanging bunches, and they are a deep, rich reddish-pink color – one of the darkest and richest color of all Pieris, which are normally white. The flowers develop slowly over winter, and they are attractive even before opening in early spring. Grow this plant in shady parts of your garden, around your home or beneath trees.
- The darkest pink blossoms of any Pieris
- Vigorous and reliable evergreen bush
- Massive flower display of hanging blossoms
- Attractive orange-bronze new leaves
- Perfect for shady parts of your garden
The Valley Valentine Pieris grows best in partial shade, with morning sun and shade from noon. It also grows well in dappled shade beneath evergreen trees. The soil should be moist, well-drained, rich, and acidic, although Pieris are less demanding for this than rhododendrons are. Pests, diseases and deer usually leave this plant alone, and it needs no pruning or trimming – just remove the dead flower heads.
