Pieris Christmas Cheer - lily of the valley bush
Pieris shrubs give you three plants for the price of one : first, attractive evergreen foliage; second, vivid new leaf colour; and third, generous sprays of bell flowers. Christmas Cheer gives you an extra cherry on the cake : unusual pink-tipped flowers which appear very early in the season. If you have poor dry soil or alkaline soil, plant it in a pot of good quality potting mix.
