Description
Kalmia latifolia (Mountain Laurel) is a broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for its dense, glossy foliage and showy late spring flowers. Its naturally rounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, shaded borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
In late spring, Mountain Laurel produces clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of soft pink, rose, or white, often accented with subtle markings. The dark green, leathery evergreen leaves provide year-round structure and visual interest, even outside the blooming season. Native to eastern North America, Mountain Laurel thrives in acidic soils and partial shade, closely resembling its natural woodland habitat.
