Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Pieris 'Polar Passion', choose a location with partial shade and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as it was in the pot. Water thoroughly after planting. This plant is compatible with a wide range of other plants, including those that also prefer acidic soil like rhododendrons and azaleas. Care involves mulching in the spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new growth. Water during dry spells, especially during the first growing season, to ensure the plant thrives. Additional winter protection may be needed in colder regions until the plant is established.
