Pieris Snowdrift

Pieris Snowdrift Details

Pieris Snowdrift is an attractive shrub grown for both its year-round appeal. This compact, rounded shrub carries chains of green-white flower buds that open into pure white flowers. They are borne in pendent like clusters on graceful stems. The flowers are mildly fragrant and are produced from winter through spring. The new foliage is bronze but matures to become leathery, glossy, and dark green. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide, growing best on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. Leaf colouring and flowering will be reduced as the levels of shade are increased and it is frost hardy once established. Pieris Snowdrift makes for a superb specimen in a small garden and is well suited to growing in a container, adding to mixed plantings, formal gardens, for border planting, or planting around the barbecue area.
