Pieris japonica 'Cavatine'

This compact, evergreen shrub boasts a dense, mounded habit, making it an ideal choice for small gardens or foundation plantings. Hardy to USDA zones 6-8, it flourishes in cooler climates and prefers temperatures ranging from 15-30°F. In early spring, it produces showy, white, bell-shaped flowers in cascading clusters, contrasting beautifully against its glossy, dark green foliage. Though it doesn't display prominent fall color, the foliage remains attractive year-round. 'Cavatine' thrives in acidic, well-drained soils with consistent moisture, and its mature shape is rounded, typically reaching a height of 2-3 feet and spreading slightly wider. This low-maintenance plant is deer-resistant, adding to its appeal for gardeners seeking effortless beauty in the landscape.
