Proven Winners Interstella Pieris

The Interstella pieris is deer resistant, which makes it a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a concern. While no plant is completely deer-proof, this variety is generally left alone by browsing animals.

No, it is an evergreen shrub. You can expect it to keep its foliage throughout the year, providing consistent color and structure in your garden even during the winter months.

Its natural mounding habit is quite tidy on its own, so it requires very little pruning to maintain a full, attractive shape. You can lightly trim it after it finishes blooming in the spring if you want to encourage a specific size or density.
