Notes

'Opstal 10' Japanese pieris (Pieris japonica 'Opstal 10') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It grows slowly into a dense, evergreen shrub with fragrant flowers that open from early to late spring. It sits low on the menu for deer. Plant it near a path or door so you can enjoy the scent.

Pairs well with Korean spice viburnum, Blue fescue, and Pink Impression tulip.
