    Looks like an pieris in need of some TLC.   New foliage starts red in spring and fades to green. Give it a feed of slow release blood, fish and bone and a tonic of liquid rose or tomato food now.

    Water it only with rainwater as it doesn't like calcium or lime.   You can also give it a feed of something with sequestered iron in it to help green up its foliage.  When the flowers have finished, give it a foliar feed of Epsom salts diluting 1 tbs in a gallon/5 litres and pouring over the leaves.   This will boost its magnesium levels and help make healthier foliage.
