DESCRIPTION
Pieris japonica 'Valley Valentine' is a beautiful evergreen shrub known for its deep red flower buds that develop in late fall and open into pendant clusters of dark pink flowers in late winter to early spring. These blooms provide a welcome burst of color during the cooler months, enhancing gardens and landscapes with their soft elegance.
This cultivar is particularly notable for its bronzy-red new foliage, which emerges in spring, adding seasonal interest and contrast to the plant’s year-round dark green leaves. Originating from Japan, 'Valley Valentine' is highly regarded for its compact growth habit and its adaptability to partial shade, making it a popular choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, or mixed borders.
