They don't like my garden I believe (or is it me!) Every fall I buy a few new once and every spring I can tell that they are gone to heather heaven as you called it "lol" Didn't knoa that there where so many different Pieris! I think that they are real beauties.

And it must be so exciting. Hubby and I spent the day outdoors carving out a planting area and adding a border to another. It was quite cool out there, cooler than we expected, and we froze our butts off! LOL... But it was fun to dig around in the soil. I hope you've gotten a chance to get out there and work on your garden.

I can get it to grow a year or two, but it always dies back.
