Pieris Katsura carries the RHS Perfect for Pollinators badge.
Pieris japonica is one of seven varieties of the genus ‘Pieris’, famed as much for its striking, colour-changing foliage as for its flowers. Pieris Japonica, of which there are over 100 known cultivars, is native to Japan and thrives in acidic (ericaceous) soil and usually prefers sunlight or partial shade.
If you don’t have acidic soil, you can grow Pieris Japonica in pots using ericaceous compost. Or you can plant them in the ground making sure you fill a hole around the plant with ericaceous compost and feed regularly with a feed for acid loving plants.
