Description
The Dorothy Wycoff Pieris, more formally called the Pieris Japonica Andromeda - Dorothy Wycoff, is a popular ornamental shrub with a contemporary-meets-rustic style. Reaching between 5 and 7 feet tall, this evergreen grower has broad, glossy, dark-green leaves, and hanging racemes with stunning red flower buds that open into pastel-pink, bell-shaped flower clusters in early spring. It’s intoxicating fragrance, reminiscent of Lily of the Valley, only contributes to the high-demand of this robust, compact grower.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
