Zones 5-9. A charming miniature of the Japanese Andromeda commonly called the "Lily of the Valley Shrub." Perfect for troughs, Bonsai or small scale scenes. Needs care similar to Rhododendron and Azalea, with protection from hot afternoon sun, moist well drained peaty soil, acid fertilizer in early spring. Attractive all year 'round but especially in spring when covered with clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers. Reddish new growth adds to the colorful look. Mature green leaves may have white in them. 12" x 18" at 10 years. Shiping size: 5-9 inches. PIERLH$12.50 ©2008 Mini Forests by SKY. All Rights Reserved.
