Pieris "Forest Flame"

aw thats a shame :-(

Did you have them in all the conditions they require?
They are quite fussy plants, but once they are in the right place they are
well worth growing. I would say, one plant can just die without any
reason, just bad luck, but having two die, there has to be something
wrong somewhere.......It is a shame though, looking at this one it looks
in the best of health!!

In dry times, I water my Pieris Forest Flame with rain water, not tap water..
My Pieris is one I inherited from my mother's garden and has adapted well, and I even managed to get a cutting started from it, and planted that in the front garden.
I agree with Freesiaperson they seem to be a bit fussy about where they like to grow...

Well this one looks healthy, fingers crossed.

Maybe your soil was too alkaline for your Pieris ?
