Pieris japonica plant named 'Conrabideau'

摘要

A new and distinct Pieris japonica plant is provided that was discovered as a spontaneous mutation of unknown causation of the 'Valley Valentine' variety (non-patented in the United States). The new plant was discovered during April 2000 when present in a controlled environment among a population of 'Valley Valentine' plants that had been asexually reproduced by tissue culture. The new plant displays an attractive upright well-branched generally uniform moderately vigorous growth habit. Large clusters of pink flowers are displayed. The attractive new growth displays a brick red coloration. The foliage is variegated green with irregularly presented yellow margins when mature. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation throughout the year.
