Victor, Do deer bother your pieris? I planted 3 Mountain Laurel, Kalmia latifolia 'Elf' and a rhododendron chionoides (dwarf) and 3 Leucothoe fontanesiana and 3 Juniperus horizontalis 'Bar Harbor' and a mugo pine in a little bed addition and the deer/rabbit are dining on every thing except the mugo and the juniper.

I was thinking of moving the Mt Laurel, the rhodo, and the leucothoe to the fenced part of our property and replacing these with Clethra alnifolia Hummingbird and a Forsythia viridissima var. koreana 'Kumson' which just bought. I want to keep anything planted in this spot under 4 feet. I was reading about Pieris japonica var. yakushimanum 'Prelude' as something that might make me happy along with some Euphorbia. I don't have a very good picture, but this sort of shows it. It is on the North side of the house, but it gets plenty of early morning sun and late afternoon sun. Advice please. Patti
