Pieris Christmas Cheer

Pieris Christmas Cheer Details

Pieris Christmas Cheer is an attractive shrub grown for both its foliage and flowers. This compact and rounded shrub produces red-pink flower buds that open to reveal pale-pink flowers. They mature to white, are mildly fragrant, and are produced from winter through into spring. The flowers are complemented with glossy green leaves which provides a lovely backdrop. It typically grows to 1.2 m tall and the same wide, performing best when planted on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun or partial shade.  It is hardy to moderate frost once established and will also tolerate short periods of dry. Pieris japonica Christmas Cheer makes for a superb specimen in a small garden or courtyard and is well suited to being maintained in a container, adding to mixed and border plantings, including in formal and cottage gardens, or for planting around outdoor living areas.
