Pieris frostbite

Has anyone else flaming pieris suffered from frostbite overnight? Really disappointed as it looked amazing. My rhododendron flowers have also suffered too

one of the hardships of being a gardener I'm afraid.

We lose the new shoots on our pieris to frost every year ☹️  Goodness knows how it ever grows bigger, but it does 🤔

My flaming piers is getting black marks on the leaves which I can scrape off but would like to know what the problem is. Is this what your frostbite is like Ryan?  Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks

I heard about Pieris lacebug last night for the first time Pam - have a google and see if the symptoms match ......

Frost causes the new red leaves to go brown and shrivel up

I did a nasty double-take on this thread title.
