The flowers are deep crimson pink in bud, opening to cream bells which have a maroon band around the inside edges (hence the name). The new growth opens in shades of bronzy red, rapidly turning to lustrous evergreen foliage. This native is found in rocky and sandy woodland sites throughout New England and the Mid Atlantic states. Acid soil and partial shade are best for all Kalmias.

Kalmia latifolia 'Carol'

'Carol' Mountain Laurel produces beautiful flower clumps in May and June. The buds are red but the ballet shirt shaped flowers are pale pink to white when fully open. The shiny green foliage is evergreen and somewhat leathery. Kalmia 'Carol' is particularly showy when naturalized and planted in mass. As Kalmias mature, they can become picturesquely open in habit, but if a tighter evergreen is desired, they can be pruned yearly, preferably soon after blooming.
