Pieris japonica ‘Cavatine’ is an exceptionally ornamental, compact evergreen shrub that delights with abundant flowering and elegant, glossy foliage throughout the year. It is one of the most popular Pieris varieties for small gardens, heath gardens, flower beds, and container planting on patios and balconies.
