Brouwers Beauty Japanese Andromeda

Ornate & Tough Brouwers Beauty Japanese Andromeda

So much amazing year-round color comes from Brouwers Beauty Japanese Andromeda (Pieris x 'Brouwer's Beauty'), a compact, urn-shaped evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves, purple-red new growth, and fragrant spring flowers! This hardy flowering bush produces purplish-red buds in winter that open in spring to an explosion of tiny, bell-shaped white blooms. The clusters of blossoms aren't just stunning - they are delightfully fragrant and attract pollinators early in the season.

This beauty features glossy, dark-green foliage and dense, compact growth - the perfect backdrop for the reddish buds and pure white blossoms. Slower growing than other Japanese Andromeda varieties, Brouwers Beauty naturally maintains its tidy, rounded shape with minimal pruning. Strong, evergreen structure adds ornamental charm all year long, while the deer-resistant nature makes it reliable and resilient.

Native to Asia and bred from hardy Japanese Andromeda parents, this selection has proven itself as a top-performing hybrid in home landscapes. Sometimes called the Lily-of-the-Valley Shrub for its fragrant flower clusters, Brouwers Beauty brings an elegant touch with low-maintenance durability. A member of the Heath family (Ericaceae), it's related to Blueberries and Rhododendrons - with the same love of acidic soils.
