Pieris 'Prelude' (Japanese Andromeda) // Magnificent, Dwarf, Evergreen Flowering Shrub

[@K.tarot.mystic]

I can see small purple patches on the leaves, which mine has too. Do you know what this is? I can’t find a lot online about it. If you look at 1:32 and pause you will see what I’m on about in the left corner on the foliage. I really hope it’s nothing serious as I really like my plant!

Well spotted! I am pleased to tell you that we don't think you have much to be concerned about. Sometimes (as with our plants) cultural conditions in early (cold wet) springs, causes a little bit of discoloration on leaves and tips of shoots. As long as the plant is in otherwise healthy condition, they grow out of this and it doesn't affect their performance.

Can I grow zone 9 plz tell me thanks

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Zone 9 is outside of our Mid-Atlantic & Northeastern US region, so we don't have much experience, but my opinion is that this is beyond its upper zone. Therefore, I DO NOT think this plant is right for you. Suggest you check with your local garden center, they will know what works locally for you.
