Pieris japonica Pink Delight

Pieris japonica Pink Delight Details

“Pink Delight” is an attractive shrub grown for both its foliage and flowers. This compact, rounded shrub produces pink buds that open into pink, urn shaped flowers. They are borne in pendent-like clusters on graceful stems, and eventually fade to white. The flowers are mildly fragrant and are produced from winter through spring. The flowers are complemented with glossy foliage that emerges bronze and matures to become lush and dark green. It typically grows to 75 cm tall and the same wide, growing best on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade.  It is hardy to moderate frost once established and will also tolerate short periods of dry. “Pink Delight” 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.
