Japanese Andromeda
Does anyone here know about this plant? We bought two of these around August last summer. We planted them, and all seemed well. As the winter came, it seemed as if one of them has died. The plant has no color and looks brown. I loved how they looked and I'm wondering if they do this every winter? Thanks in advance. I've not been able to find much on this on the internet so I am new here and thought this would be a good question.

I know it's been a while since you posted your question, but I haven't been on here in a long time!!
At my previous home, my andromeda had turned brown after a particularly harsh winter. Someone told me to cut it back drastically, so I tried it. I pretty much cut all of the brown leaves off and just left some short branches.
It came back beautifully! It will look ugly and bare for a while, but it definitely bounced back and was healthy for the remaining 4 years I lived there. I hope it works out for you too!
