Zone: 6GLOWING HEARTS JAPANESE PIERIS
Pieris japonica 'Glowing Hearts' (Glowing Hearts Andromeda) is a showstopper for any garden, offering a multi-season display of color. This compact evergreen shrub gets its name from its incredible new growth, which emerges in a vivid, almost luminous scarlet red. This "glowing" foliage provides a stunning contrast to the clusters of delicate, creamy-pink, bell-shaped flowers that appear in spring, creating a dynamic visual spectacle. As the seasons progress, the leaves gracefully transition to shades of yellow and cream before maturing into a deep, glossy green, ensuring continuous interest from spring through winter.
Beyond its showy good looks, 'Glowing Hearts' is a versatile and low-maintenance choice. It?s perfect for adding a pop of color to shady areas, whether used as a focal point, in a mixed shrub border, or as an elegant container plant on a patio. This slow-growing, tidy shrub is naturally deer-resistant and thrives in partial shade and acidic, well-drained soil.
Glowing Hearts Andromeda thrives in partial shade, where it gets morning sun and is protected from hot, harsh afternoon sun. With its year-round appeal and easy-care nature, the 'Glowing Hearts' Pieris is an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking to add a unique and vibrant touch to their landscape.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in acidic, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that provides partial shade to filtered light to protect the foliage from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. These shrubs require consistent moisture to remain healthy, especially during the first growing season until the root system is well established. Prune immediately after the flowering period concludes if you need to manage size or remove older stems, which helps maintain a neat shape. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
