Katsura Pieris

Katsura Pieris (Pieris japonica 'Katsura') Katsura Pieris is an evergreen shrub that adds year-round structure and dependable color to part-shade landscapes. It is especially useful in foundation beds and woodland borders where you want a polished look even in winter. This selection is known for showy flower buds that bring strong seasonal interest before spring bloom arrives. If you want an easy, refined shrub that performs well in acidic soil, Katsura Pieris is a classic choice. Distinctive Features Katsura develops deep pink to reddish flower buds that form in fall and persist into winter, adding color when many shrubs are quiet. In early spring, the buds open into drooping clusters of small, urn-shaped white flowers that soften the plant with a graceful, layered bloom display. Glossy evergreen foliage provides a clean backdrop and keeps the plant looking full through all seasons. The habit is upright to rounded, making it a dependable mid-height anchor that pairs naturally with azaleas, rhododendrons, and other shade-friendly shrubs. Growing Conditions...
