Temple Bells PierisGrown for its gorgeous white flowers which hang in 4 6" clusters like strands of pearls. Flowers appear in early March and last for 2 3 months, often until late May! 'Temple Bells' produces more flowers at a YOUNGER AGE than the species or many other cultivars. Pieris has wonderful, evergreen foliage and loves a spot in the garden which receives some shade from the hottest part of the afternoon Summer sun.
