This compact evergreen shrub features a dense, rounded habit and produces an elegant display of pure white, bell-shaped flowers in early spring, complementing glossy, dark green foliage that maintains interest year-round. Hardy in zones 5-8, it thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers well-drained, acidic soil in partial shade. Its foliage does not offer exceptional fall color but remains vibrant in winter. Pieris japonica 'Purity' is deer resistant and matures to a height of 3-5 feet with a similar spread, making it an excellent choice for foundation planting or woodland gardens. Perfectly suited to borders or containers, it provides visual appeal and requires little maintenance while attracting pollinators.
