Pieris japonica ‘Cavatine’ | Cavatine Pieris
DESCRIPTION
Pieris japonica 'Cavatine' is a compact, broadleaf evergreen shrub that typically grows to about 2-3 feet tall and wide. This popular dwarf variety is prized for its attractive foliage and early spring blooms, producing clusters of small, bell-shaped, fragrant white flowers that hang gracefully from the branches and attract pollinators. The flowers last for several weeks, providing a beautiful display. 'Cavatine' prefers partial shade to full shade, thriving in woodland garden settings or areas with dappled sunlight, with average water needs and a preference for moist, well-drained soil. It benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool, making it ideal for small gardens, border plantings, or as a specimen plant, and it can also be grown in containers. Known for its resistance to deer and rabbits, 'Cavatine' is relatively disease-resistant and low-maintenance, making it a favorite among gardeners for its beauty and ease of care.
