Pearl bush
Pieris is a genus of shrubs in the flowering plant family Ericaceae, native to mountain regions of eastern and southern Asia, eastern North America and Cuba.
Known commonly as andromeda, pearl bush and lily-of-the-valley shrub (not related).
Often grown as ornamental plants, valued for year-round interest due to bright red new growth in early spring, chains of small, white flowers in mid-spring and buds that remain on the plant through the winter.
Bell-shaped flowers have a lovely, honey scent and are up to 15 mm in length.
These plants grow best in a shady spot, sheltered from drying, winter winds.
