PIERIS JAP. 'KATSURA' - Single Plants

This offering is for single plants of this variety. These are growing in 2.5 inch containers.

The glorious combination of bright red spring foliage and slightly fragrant rose-colored blooms is irresistible on this eye-catching Japanese shrub! Evergreen, well-branched, and very floriferous, it is a colorful and unusually beautiful Andromeda, just right for use as a specimen or the standout of the sunny to partly shaded border.

'Katsura' begins each spring with long, lovely wine-red leaves among last season's greenery. These are soon joined by racemes of bell-shaped blooms of pale rose. The chains of color reach 3 to 5 inches long and last for many weeks, the flowers releasing a subtle candy-like sweet scent. Grows to 1 to 3 feet tall and wide. Zones 5 to 7.
