Pretty in pieris


It seems odd to get into May and find the Pieris only just coming into their own - but I have a couple of stunners lighting up a dark corner on the patio underneath my dwarf cherry tree. I suppose that's what we can now expect with our changing climate.

I have to keep them in pots since the clay in the garden is such an inhibitor of growth that I have to provide all the plants' nutrients artificially with heaps of ericaceous compost. I also have a lovely peach coloured azalea which gets a similar treatment.
