Pieris japonica 'Little Heath'
A special plant for a semi-shaded spot. Fresh bronze young foliage that matures to variegated green and cream leaves. Panicles of fragrant white bell flowers with a hint of rose at the tips make quite a show in spring. Looks good all year round. Happiest in a good soil that does not dry out and in semi-shade. Evergreen.
