Common Name:
Japanese Pieris 'Temple Bells'

Description:
Pieris japonica 'Temple Bells' is a graceful, evergreen shrub renowned for its cascading clusters of pure white, bell-shaped flowers that appear in early spring. These delicate blooms, resembling lily-of-the-valley, contrast beautifully with the plant’s glossy, dark green foliage. New growth emerges in soft bronze tones, adding seasonal interest. 'Temple Bells' thrives in part shade to full sun, preferring acidic, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, borders, and container planting.
