ANDROMEDA
Andromeda that is sold for the cut flower industry is Pieris japonica. Andromeda is most commonly used as a foliage line, but in late winter and spring branches contain dangling chains of small (4 to 6 mm), cream to pink bell-shaped flowers.
The flowers resemble
Lily-of-the-Valley, and mature to form capsules that are retained by the
plant for some time. In spring, the new foliage of some varieties (e.g.
the Australian-bred ‘Bert Chandler’) is also a beautiful pale pink to
red in colour, adding to the attractive display. Branches are usually
short, about 30 to 50cm in length, and the mature leaves are
lance-shaped and dark green, arranged in whorls.
Leaves are up to 10cm in length, and have a prominent mid-rib. Stems are woody and there is also a variegated form.
