Pieris Brouwers Beauty (Japanese Andromeda)

An excellent choice for the landscape, Pieris 'Brouwer's Beauty' is a dense, compact, evergreen shrub that provides desirable winter interest, abundant spring blooms and a delightful foliage which holds its color across the seasons. It features deep purplish red flower buds in winter, which contrast nicely with the shiny, dark green foliage, transitioning to a profusion of urn-shaped, pendulous, creamy white flowers held in horizontal trusses at the tips of the branches. Pieris 'Brouwer's Beauty' is a charming hybrid between Pieris floribunda, from eastern North America, and Pieris japonica, from Japan.
