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 be happy if these were native plants
I have a problem with rabbits, everything I plant they eat it, is there anything I can plant that they won’t eat?

My lawn is not pretty, I like pretty things. I need shade and sun-loving plants that do not require a lot of work, because I have health r problems.

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
Would be nice if you could delinate those that are native and those that are not. For example, some viburnums are native and some are very invasive such as the korean species.
Help, the deer are eating everything. Live in Ohio
