{{edit-desc}} {{Inc| Andromeda (Greek mythological name). Ericaceae. Ornamental low plants grown for their evergreen foliage and for their flowers. Evergreen shrubs: Lvs. short-petioled, narrow, entire: fls. in terminal umbels, pedicelled; calyx small, 5- toothed; corolla urceolate with 5 short recurved lobes; stamens 10 with aristate anthers opening with pores: caps, dehiscent into 5 valves; seeds numerous, small. —Two species through the northern hemisphere. The andromedas are low evergreen shrubs with small and narrow foliage and small pinkish flowers in terminal umbels. They are perfectly hardy North and suited for borders of evergreen shrubberies and for rockeries and grow best in peaty or sandy and moist soil and in half-shady positions. Propagation is by seeds, sown thinly soon after maturity, in pots or pans of sandy peat soil, placed in a cool frame. They germinate easily if sown in cut sphagnum, but must be pricked into boxes as soon as they can be handled. Cuttings from mature wood, placed in sand under glass in fall, and kept in a cool greenhouse during the winter, will root easily; also increased by layers.
