Has pink flowers!

The Variegated Japanese Pieris (Pieris japonica 'Variegata') is an ornamental evergreen shrub that combines striking foliage with beautiful flowers, making it a standout feature in gardens. It is a variegated form of the classic Japanese Pieris, offering a mix of colorful leaves and seasonal blooms.

In early spring, typically from March to April, the Variegated Japanese Pieris produces clusters of small, bell-shaped, white or pale pink flowers. These blooms have a delicate, fragrant scent and attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. The flowers hang in pendulous clusters, adding an elegant touch to the plant’s overall look.

The Variegated Japanese Pieris is hardy in USDA zones 5–8, meaning it can withstand cold temperatures but prefers more temperate climates. It thrives in protected areas, where it is shielded from harsh winds.

Care:

 Variegated Japanese Pieris prefers acidic, well-drained soil and partial to full shade. It is somewhat drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during dry periods. Pruning is rarely necessary, but deadheading spent flowers can help improve the plant’s appearance. Avoid pruning in late winter or early spring, as it could remove the upcoming flower buds.
