Description

Pieris 'Cupido' is an attractive evergreen shrub known for its compact, upright habit and year-round interest. It features glossy green foliage contrasted by striking, red young leaves which add vibrant colour to gardens, especially in sheltered borders or woodland settings. This cultivar typically produces clusters of bell-shaped, white flowers in early spring, providing a delicate display that can brighten shady spots.

Suitable for growing in well-drained, acidic to neutral soils, Pieris 'Cupido' prefers a position with partial shade and protection from harsh winds. It is a slow-growing, hardy shrub that generally reaches a modest size, making it ideal for smaller gardens or containers. Regular watering during dry spells helps maintain its health and appearance.
