Pieris japonica 'Sarabande'

Japanese Pieris

Sarabande Pieris has small evergreen leaves and a tidy, closely branched appearance. Young foliage adds bronze tones to the green canopy.

White bells gather in upright clusters late in spring. Its foliage continues to provide structure after the floral display passes.

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