7. Pieris
Piers are very similar to Enkianthus and are acid-loving shrubs and if you are gardening on ericaceous soil, they are a good choice. Evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and they also combine well with other shrubs such as rhododendrons and camellias.
You can buy Pieris from J. Parker’s, Thompson & Morgan, and Crocus.
8. Pachysandra
Pachysandra is a very small shrub, but also a very spectacular one. They grow under the sun, being useful as ground-cover plants in dry shade. Even though their flowers are not the main character, the green shade and the shape of their leaves will beautifully decorate your shady garden spots.

I would really like it if you would include hardiness zones with these articles. I am a beginning gardener and I live in a fairly cold place.
I live in Florida and have no shade. I am just outside of Tallahassee. I am hoping in the future you could do an article for plants that do not burn up in the sun. Thanks
