The flowers of Pieris have a classic beauty to them, which is why they have been loved by generations of gardeners. ‘Temple Bells’ is a delight, with its large clusters of ivory-white flowers in spring. The new foliage colours are very appealing too, starting with apricot-bronze tones then deepening to reddish-bronze before finally changing to deep green by summer. Those new spring growths are susceptible to heavy frosts, so ‘Temple bells’ will need a sheltered spot where frosts are hard.
