All are welcome and thank you for considering my Mountain Laurel group and contributing to this wonderful groups growth.

Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is flowering broadleaf evergreen shrub with a multi-stemmed growth habit. It has beautiful spring blooms, and its elliptical, glossy deep-green leaves (resembling those of rhododendrons) and gnarled stems make it attractive in all seasons. This shade-loving shrub produces clusters of flowers in late May to early June. Many different cultivars are available that offer various sizes and bloom colors. Mountain laurel partners well with rhododendrons and azaleas.
