Andromeda

If you like the look of Lily of the Valley or Bleeding Heart then Andromeda is for you!  This plant should be planted in a shady spot because most Pieris planted in full sun are usually covered in lacebugs.
WARNING
The foliage of Japanese pieris is toxic to livestock and probably people as well.
