Pieris Katsura A new, compact form of this acid-loving species, Pieris japonica Katsura is a small, slow-growing, evergreen shrub with a shapely, upright habit. The strongly divided leathery leaves emerge a most beautiful wine-colour, turning deep, glossy green; new wine-red growth appears throughout the season. In spring, deep red buds open to masses of small, rose-pink urn-shaped flowers. Pieris Katsura is good grown in ericaceous compost in a container, or in dappled shade as part of a woodland planting.
