Pieris floribunda
13 years ago
I'm looking for a shrub that will be red or reddish (or have red leaf tips etc) in medium shade. This is under a few trees, gets some dappled sunlight and some reflected sunlight. I can add supplemental water, so moisture isn't a problem.
I was thinking about Pieris Floribunda (mountain andromeda.)
(Note: NOT Pieris Japonica - the two seem to be confused all the time!)
Anybody in Z4 or lower have experience with this shrub?
I've also considered smokebush, so any experience with that or other recommendations are appreciated. I don't want to plant anything that will die or green-out in the shade.
Thanks in advance.
