 | | Pieris japonica was introduced to cultivation under the old name, Andromeda japonica, and then reclassified into this new genus leaving us with the old name to be used as the common name, Andromeda. |
 | | Pieris 'Prelude' and 'Cavatine' are two that we really like; they are nice and vigorous, but really compact, and are covered with masses of flowers which are perfectly in scale with the size of the plants. |
 | | Pieris floribunda was actually the first Pieris to be introduced to gardeners in Europe (early1800's), but since it was not as showy, difficult to propagate, and a little tricky to grow, it never really caught on like its Asian relatives. |
