Pieris japonica 'Purity'

Purity Pieris

Purity Pieris pairs fresh green foliage with generous clusters of white flowers. The leaves darken as the growing season progresses.

This evergreen develops a full, compact outline. Upright flower clusters can be abundant even on young plants, making it useful for a spring border.

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