How to care for Pieris japonica Glowing Hearts ('Piesid2') (PBR):
Choose a location with shelter from cold winter winds. Add composted pine needles or ericaceous compost when planting and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch each year around the base of the plant in early spring. Remove the faded flower-heads in late spring along with any frost-damaged foliage.
