My Pieris has bloomed beautifully these last few springs. Then the leaves turn brown and drop, I have treated it with bug spray, but they still look brown and drop, it affect the little white buds to, they die back and drop? Any advice?

    There's no point spraying plants when you don't know the reason for the problem.
    We'd need more information though - how and where you're growing it, your general location and climate etc. A photo would also help  :)
    Late frosts can also cause that, especially if they put on fresh new growth earlier in the year. 
    They're usually very easy, but they don't like being dry, and they don't like alkaline soil.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
