Pieris japonica - lily of the valley bush
The garden triple threat - evergreen foliage, bright new leaf colour, winter-spring flowers. It's super-pretty, and a much bigger size than our Christmas Cheer and Mountain Fire pieris - so you get to enjoy even more of that gorgeousness in your garden.
Loves rich loamy acid soil, so it makes a great companion for azaleas, gardenias, camellias and the like.
