Grow Dorothy Wycoff Pieris in full sun or partial shade. They need at least four hours of sunlight a day.

Rich, moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils are best. They love a three-inch layer of pine straw mulch over their root systems. Add compost top-dressing to further enrich the soil.

Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. Container plants need careful watering, as well.
