Pieris japonica 'Cavatine'

Dwarf Cavatine Pieris

Cavatine Pieris is a small evergreen shrub with closely held, dark foliage. White bells hang from the branches in spring, adding a lightly scented display.

Its restrained growth suits the front of a border. The foliage gives a compact planting lasting structure between flowering seasons.

Plant in sun or partial shade with acidic soil rich in organic matter. Maintain drainage and protect young plants from severe winter exposure.
