Pieris japonica Cavitine

Pieris japonica ‘Cavatine’ is a compact Japanese andromeda introduced from Europe for its reliable flowering and manageable size. In early spring, it produces abundant drooping clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully with glossy evergreen foliage. New growth often emerges with bronze to red tones before maturing to green, adding seasonal interest beyond bloom. It grows best in partial shade with acidic, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically reaches 2–3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for foundations, containers, and woodland borders.
