Brouwers Beauty Pieris, botanically known as Pieris japonica ‘Brouwers Beauty’, is a slow-growing, densely formed broadleaf evergreen shrub with undeniable garden appeal. Brouwers Beauty provides year-round interest. Showy clusters of soft, white, bell-shaped flowers are lightly scented and emerge in spring held on arching stems above dark-green foliage. Abundant flowers throughout Brouwers Beauty's long blooming season attract butterflies and hummingbirds and are an important nectar source for bees. This shrub is also deer resistant. With its showy foliage and lovely purple-red buds in late winter, this is a top-performing shrub that is sure to deliver!
Brouwers Beauty bloom time is early spring. This pieris can be used in the landscape as a naturally forming hedge or as an individual accent shrub. These shrubs reach 6-7 ft tall and 6-7 ft wide. These are hardy in zones 4-8.
Brouwers Beauty Pieris Care
Plant Brouwers Beauty in partial sun to dappled shade in a location with wind protection. Brouwers Beauty prefers slightly acidic, well-draining, organic, humus-rich soil. Poorly drained soils can contribute to root rot. This shrub can be toxic to pets, so plant it in an area that pets cannot easily access. Adding a light layer of shredded leaves around the root zone can help keep roots moist.
Brouwers Beauty needs moderate watering; be sure to maintain moist soil, particularly during the hot, dry summer months. Brouwers Beauty doesn’t enjoy constant wet feet, so avoid soggy conditions by planting this shrub in well-draining soil.
Brouwers Beauty Pieris Spacing
Brouwers Beauty is an excellent choice for many applications in the landscape. It can be used massed together as a showy, spring-flowering, informal border, as an accent, or in foundation plantings. It will reach 3-4 ft wide at maturity, so locate it 3 ft away from other plants or structures.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
