Pieris ‘Brouwer’s 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 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.
