I Planted A Pieris In Ericaceous Compost A Few Days Ago , Some Of The Leaves Look Kind Of Dead Already . I’ve Watered It Daily .

Question

I’m in Glasgow, is it too cold ? Have I planted it too early ? It’s warm during the day but cool at night. It’s a south facing garden.

Answer 1

I don't think it's too cold but is the soil entirely compost and nothing else? You might side dress with a little topsoil. It may have had too much water and some transplant shock. Pluck away the dead blossoms and clean up around the plant, and see if the warmer weather doesn't make it perk up a bit.
