Andromeda, Latin name pieris, is also known as lily-of-the-valley bush. Japanese Andromeda (Pieris Japonica) & Mountain Andromeda hybrid (Pieris floribunda) are popular species for use in gardens and landscaping. These broad-leaf, evergreen plants showcase chains of bell-shaped flowers closely resembling the perennial lily of the valley. They have a sweet, light scent. In addition to the bountiful flowers Andromeda produces, its new growth emerges in shades of orange, red & bronze.
