Japanese Andromeda 'Red Head', 'Red Head'Japanese Pieris
Eye-catching, Pieris japonica ‘Red Head’ (Japanese Andromeda) is a bushy, rounded, evergreen shrub that provides desirable winter interest, abundant spring blooms and a striking foliage which emerges bright red before turning glossy, dark green. In early spring, large, clusters of pink buds open to fragrant, urn-shaped, pendulous, creamy-white flowers. Resembling Lily-of-the-Valley blossoms, the flowers contrast nicely with the shiny, dark green foliage.
