Pieris floribunda is a North American species of broadleaf evergreen shrub, a member of the fetterbush genus in the blueberry family (Ericaceae).

Pieris floribunda is a bushy shrub growing to around three to six feet (0.9 to 1.8 m) high with oval shiny, leathery leaves which are normally evergreen, but may shed in a harsh winter to brown and persist until spring.

The brown, dry fruit is a slightly angled globular capsule about 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) long in autumn and persisting until late April.

[4] There is a cultivar of a hybrid between the American and Japanese species called 'Brouwer's Beauty' that does adapt easily to cultivation and bears intermediate flower clusters that are erect and yet drooping also.

This compact, upright shrub is a cross between P. formosa ‘Wakehurst’ and P. japonica grows 12′ feet tall and half as wide It produces small urn-shaped cream-coloured flowers in spring.
