Katsura Pieris is a striking evergreen shrub known for its dynamic foliage and elegant blooms. In early spring, it produces arching clusters of pink, bell-shaped flowers that gracefully cascade over glossy green leaves. As the season progresses, new growth emerges in a dramatic wine-red hue, transitioning to deep green, providing continuous color throughout the growing season. Katsura Pieris is a versatile and low-maintenance shrub that adds year-round beauty to gardens, particularly in shaded or woodland settings. Its vibrant foliage and delicate flowers make it a standout choice for gardeners seeking continuous seasonal interest.

This moderately fast-growing shrub reaches approximately 5 feet in both height and width, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, hedges, or container gardens. Its compact, rounded habit and evergreen nature ensure it remains an attractive feature in the landscape year-round.

Care Instructions:
Katsura Pieris thrives in filtered sun to partial shade and prefers organically rich, slightly acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soil. Protect it from harsh winds to maintain its health and appearance. During the first growing season, water deeply and regularly to establish an extensive root system. Applying a thick layer of mulch will help keep roots cool and retain soil moisture. After blooming, feed with an acid fertilizer to promote vigorous growth

Japanese pieris, a common ornamental shrub, contains toxins called grayanotoxins. If your dog/cat eats or chews the leaves or flowers of this plant, it can result in drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea, and in serious cases, it can affect the cardiovascular system.
