Compact and slow-growing, Pieris japonica Little Heath is an evergreen with neat, variegated foliage and dainty clusters of white, urn-shaped spring flowers. Ideal for pots and small borders in acid, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, it performs best in partial shade and a sheltered spot out of cold winds; avoid chalky soils. Low maintenancelight trim after flowering and annual mulch keeps it tidy and healthy.
