The genus Pieris are a group of popular evergreen, flowering shrubs in the Heath family.

Often referred to as Lily-of-the-Valley shrubs because of their small, white spring blossoms, many varieties are also noted for their young red leaves that eventually turn green.

Most varieties are suitable for partially shaded areas in USDA hardiness Zones 5-8.
