In early spring, brilliant deep red new growth emerges and holds its color longer than most pieris varieties before maturing to glossy dark green. Cascades of elegant pink, bell-shaped flowers appear in early spring, adding delicate charm and early-season interest. Compact and upright, ‘Katsura’ typically grows 4–6 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, woodland borders, and shaded landscape beds. Hardy in Zones 5–8, it thrives in well-drained, acidic soil and partial shade. For customers looking to add rich color, year-round structure, and deer resistance to the landscape, ‘Katsura’ delivers refined beauty with minimal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore About Pieris japonica 'Katsura'\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShade loving plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms late winter into spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for woodland settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle specimen or hedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate grower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eJapanese Pieris Growing and Maintenance Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize in the spring after blooming with a food for acid-loving plants.  Can be harmful if ingested by people or animals.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 5-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePieris japonica 'Katsura' Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/span\u003e: Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Moisture\u003c\/span\u003e: Average Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttributes\u003c\/span\u003e: Low Maintenance, Great Foliage, Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSeason of Interest (Flowering)\u003c\/span\u003e: Spring- Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":48823699308784,"sku":"Katsura","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5680\/9200\/files\/pieris-japonica-katsura-28.jpg?v=1770923521","url":"https:\/\/hunterdontree.com\/products\/katsura","provider":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
