Description
Pieris Katsura is a stunning, compact evergreen shrub that delivers year-round interest with its rich, deep burgundy new growth and magnificent spring blooms. The glossy foliage emerges in a dramatic shade of red before maturing into a polished, deep green, creating a satisfying contrast throughout the season. In early spring, cascading clusters of fragrant, rosy-pink, bell-shaped flowers add a fresh splash of color and elegance to the landscape. Its tidy, mounded form makes it one of the finest choices for foundation plantings, shaded borders, and woodland landscapes.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers part shade to full shade
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots, encourage healthy foliage, and improve drought resistance; once established, requires little supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove spent blooms
  • Winter Protection: Provide wind protection in exposed sites to prevent winter burn

With its bold foliage, fragrant spring flowers, and year-round beauty, Pieris Katsura is a refined and satisfying choice for adding depth, structure, and a splash of color to shaded landscapes.
