pieris and the R. schlippenbachi should be just fine.  I have had them
zapped as late as June 3 and June 6 up here (when the bloom time was late
April and early May, respectively and leaf-out time was a full three to six
weeks prior).  Both have the reserves for a complete second flush, maybe
not as vigorous as the first but substantive.  Just make sure they have
water.

moderating effect of her Seneca Lake.
