Pieris
Evergreen shrubs growing naturally in forests and hillsides.
Grown for their alternate or whorled, oblong or lance-shaped, glossy, mid- to dark-green leaves, often attractively coloured when young, and their terminal panicles of small, urn-shaped flowers borne in spring. Requires moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist and well-drained, acidic soil in full sun or light shade. Good for shrub border or woodland areas. Fully to frost hardy. Young growth may need protection from frost.
