Kalmia latifolia

Mountain Laurel

Mountain Laurels have a very broad native range, from Florida to Canada and as far West as Ohio. Kalmia latifolia blooms from late spring to mid summer, varying with differing temperatures and altitudes. The cluster of buds are often darker than the open flowers, with colors of red to pink. The ballet skirt-shaped vary from dark pink and burgundy to pale pink and even white. The evergreen foliage is a lustrous dark green. Kalmias prefer cool shady moist sites with good drainage. Dick Janes of Broken Arrow Nursery has introduced many showy selections.
