Pieris japonica 'Katsura'
Pieris japonica 'Katsura', also known as Japanese pieris 'Katsura', is an ornamental evergreen shrub with a compact, rounded habit, prized for the spectacular coloration of its young foliage. In spring, its new shoots emerge in brilliant coppery-red tones, creating a striking contrast with the glossy dark green mature foliage. Its spring bloom consists of hanging clusters of small creamy-white bell-shaped flowers reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley, bringing elegance and lightness to shaded beds. Pieris japonica 'Katsura' prefers a semi-shaded exposure and an acidic soil, rich in organic matter and well-drained. Ideal for foundations, beds, or woodland gardens, it offers prolonged ornamental interest thanks to its evergreen foliage and distinctive seasonal coloring.
