Thank you so much for the information! I just got one today and this helps me a lot. Looking forward to seeing this plant grow. Only wish I would have gotten more than one!
Thank you Jim, i was wondering if the new blooms were somehow stunted growth because they remained so tiny this summer after I rescued them from the big box store. I’m happy to know that they’re all preparing to bloom this next spring! Wonderful news! Do you know if this plant will take 40 years to mature in height as I’ve heard from others? I’d like to have a 6 footer but don’t wanna wait for ages for it to match my paired plantings
I bought one of these, about a week ago and I haven't planted it yet, we had a cold snap and the tips of the plant burned, the rest of the plant looks ok, is it ok to prune the tips now, april 5th zone 7?
I’ve seen some of these Pieris shrubs 8 ft tall in my neighborhoods, I’ve also planted some in my front & back yard. I think the variety I got is the andromeda. I’m hoping these don’t get that tall either.
thanks for this great video! and for all your great videos. i read somewhere that I should cut off the white flowers once they start to fade, but i didn't see that anywhere in your video. can you confirm if i should cut off the flowers now that they have faded and no longer white? thanks for your help!
I’m liking your channel I found it when I planted my Japanese maple. I did a name drop for you hope you don’t mind. I’m new to making videos and have been inspired by many like you.
HortTube with Jim Putnam I completely agree I enjoy gardening and being in the military we have limited space but it also means I get to start over with a whole new slew of gardening when I move.
I have some of these, but they got some freeze damage. How can I save them and get them to bloom. I planted early spring and ended up getting a frost right after. In Alabama area.
HortTube with Jim Putnam I also planted some encore lilac azaleas around the same time. Some of the blooms seem to be mushy, like diseased or something. But others are blooming fine. Have you heard this before? They also got some bad freeze weather after planted.
Question on Lantana and FireBush. I live in 9b we had a few cold spells this winter. Both plants are showing new growth at the base, but nothing on the upper 3/4. Should they be pruned down or left alone. The Firebush is 8' tall and has become tree like,Thanks.
I like to use hardwood or pinestraw, because they break down and add organic material to the soil. Rubber mulch would be better than nothing at all though.
Great info! Love to have evergreen in winter!
Strong knowledge and excellent presentation skills. You’re more fun than TV.
Thank you

I've heard these do well in containers. Do you have any info about this?

Share all you like. This channel is not about me. I just want people to be able to enjoy the spaces they have.

We live in Wisconsin, will Pieris grow in below 20 in the winter?
I have some of these, but they got some freeze damage. How can I save them and get them to bloom. I planted early spring and ended up getting a frost right after. In Alabama area.
I think the plants will be fine, but they won't set any more flower buds until late summer probably.

Yes, I am already cutting things back to the new growth.
Just found your channel....I have sandy soil ~ I am seeing rubber mulch a lot now ~ would it work well for me or should I stay with a hard mulch? Thx
I like to use hardwood or pinestraw, because they break down and add organic material to the soil. Rubber mulch would be better than nothing at all though.
I think these would be a good addition to my new shade garden. Do you have any in stock right now have not seen these elsrwhere
I have one mountain snow here. I will order more next week.
Jim, I have 3 pieris and the leaves are very pale, look anemic. Any suggestions of what they need?
That could mean they are staying to wet or you may need to use Holly tone and maybe some ironite to correct a soil issue.
Thanks for the reply. I'll add holly tone.
Can they survive in a more sunny area?I did not hear you mention that?So,I guess not?Have not planted it yet?
How tall & wide do they grow? 😊
3 to 4 high. 2 to 3 wide. Thanks for watching
I wanth to buy can you so me
