Pieris japonica "Little Heath" is a lovely, dwarf-growing shrub with variegated foliage. In early spring the plant develops plenty of flowering buds out of which bright white flowers emerge.
The new foliage shoots are bright, salmon pink to red; they give a second burst of colour to this shrub, just after the flowering in spring.

This shrub does not like pruning much just cut back old straggly bits in late summer or autumn, remove dead flowers in May to encourage new flower buds.
