Japanese Andromeda 'Brouwer’s Beauty', also known as Hybrid Andromeda 'Brouwer’s Beauty' or Lily of the Valley Shrub, is an excellent evergreen shrub. The dense compact shrub provides winter interest, stunning spring blooms, and strongly colored foliage.
The white flowers start with deep purplish-red buds in the winter, stunning against the shiny, dark green foliage. The buds then transition to a cluster of creamy white flowers on sturdy stems in early spring.
This slow-growing shrub has a refined habit and typically grows 5-7 feet tall with a spread of 5-8 feet. It's easy to care for and generally low maintenance. It does best in the full sun but is tolerant of partial shade. And it prefers rich, well-drained soils on the moist side. It is also deer-resistant.
It's generally equally adaptable to very wet (though it won't tolerate standing water) and very dry conditions. But when it comes to shade, it's best to provide the full sun to avoid faded flowers. It attracts pollinators, has no serious disease problems, and is great for an urban landscape as it tolerates urban pollution.
This plant can be used for mass planting in mixed shrub borders or as a specimen plant. It is perfect for hedges or foundation plantings. Order yours from Shrubhub today to receive a healthy plant in its best shape.
