Hi Patty, Would you be interested in some tiki torch coneflower in exchange for your pieris japonica? Check my trade list for others that you might like. You have some really great things on your list - would love to do a larger trade with you if possible. May be able to dig up some others that aren't listed. Just let me know. Thanks!

Update, Spring 2011 All is well in the pieris patch this year! Last year I deadheaded leftover blooms from 2009 and I gave all the pierises plentiful compost. I may also have added some Plantone, I'm not sure. I got a little giddy with Plantone. I moved a few of the dwarf pierises to give them some more room and I pruned reverting branches from two of the three Little Heaths. P. Mountain Fire on April 9, 2011 The Cavatine and maybe a Prelude also bloomed but I don't have a good photo. Little Heath is becoming a real joy. Of the three, I left one alone, moved a second one with light pruning of reversions, and heavily pruned a third. The one I left alone bloomed heavily. The second one that was moved also bloomed heavily, just later, and the one I heavily pruned didn't bloom at all. This is the Little Heath I left alone, on May 4, 2011 with new red foliage appearing with blossoms remaining. There's a piece of Cavatine (I think) showing on the left. The red or pink foliage was like a second bloom this spring. This is some of the pierises on May 18, 2011 with a Euonymus Silver King and a big old Ilex verticillata as backdrop. I think that's Cavatine and maybe a Prelude on the lower right still blooming. The overall bloom time was really extended well over a month. There was much more snow cover than usual last winter (usually we get minimal cover) so that may have helped. In any case, the problem seems to have been transient, or maybe I now know a better way of maintaining the plants Claire.
