Default Should I dead-head Pieris?

The message
from Cuvapu contains these words:

I'd be grateful for advice, please. Is it better for the health of a
Pieris
to lop off its flower heads after the shrub has flowered, or to leave
them alone?


I just leave them on. Our pieris are smothered in brilliant new
growth
this year, a real picture. I don't know if that's due to a warm summer
last year, or their new diet of seaweed and dogpooh :-}


Thank you, that's helpful - I'll leave the heads on if it seems to do no
harm. Mind you, I'm not sure that mine will get the dogpooh diet!
