Temple Bells Japanese Andromeda
Pieris japonica ‘Temple Bells’
Temple Bells Japanese Andromeda is a compact, densely mounded cultivar valued for its exceptionally long, elegant flower clusters. The pure white, bell-shaped flowers hang in graceful, arching racemes that can be up to 6 inches long, resembling strings of temple bells. Its new foliage emerges a coppery-bronze before maturing to deep green. This smaller, floriferous variety is ideal for adding refined beauty to intimate shade gardens, containers, or the front of a border.
