Broad Leafed Evergreens - Pieris
One of my favorite broad-leafed evergreens, Pieris or often mistakenly called Andromeda, is perfect for the shady garden. A member of the Ericaceae and closely related to Rhododendrons, it thrives in the same kind of moist, organic, acid soil.

Broad Leafed Evergreens - Kalmia
Kalmia, or Mountain Laurel, is one plant whose buds are just as neat and lovely as the open flowers. Sometimes the buds are a completely different color from the open flower, and since the flowers don’t open all at one time, the effect can be very lively. It is one of the most beautiful of native U.S. shrubs in flower.
