1-25-11: Pieris japonica 'Karenoma

Reacting to a phone call from a Portland landscape designer desperately seeking Pieris ‘Karenoma’ I went out in the warm spring rain we are having today to check them out. And how lovely they are!

Right now they have soft pink buds on bright green foliage. Soon they will bloom abundantly with fragrant white flowers lasting up to two months of spring beauty. This pieris has a very compact habit growing to three feet by three feet, a very desirable trait for certain situations. Plant in full sun or bright shade in rich, well-drained, acidic soil and water deeply during summer dry spells. Enjoy the russet red of the bud, the pure white of the flower and the bronzy red of the new growth.
