So jealous of this! I can tell my pieris is definitely suffering by looking at yours! Fantastic photos as ever!

It wasn't happy at the front of the house where it got early morning sun so I moved it to the back where it gets very little and it seems much happier.

That might be the problem with mine - too exposed? I think it suffered a bit in the frost but that too might be it's open site. I have it in a brick container as my soil is not acid so may put it into a moveable container and move it to a shadier area? It's alive but not thriving if you know what I mean!

They are very prone to late frost damage but usually make a come-back. From experience I'd say a sheltered shady spot works best. The only sun mine gets is late afternoon, and none at all in winter.

I think after it's normal flowering season I'll move it in a large pot to my shadier front garden and that leaves me a sunny spot to fill! There is a silver lining to everything! Thanks for help.
