Kalmia latifolia 'At Last' - Mountain Laurel
- $ 22.00 $ 22.00
At last there is finally a Southern genotype Mountain Laurel (read heat tolerant) with pink flowers! Large clusters of the most unusual and exquisite five-pointed cupped pink flowers with dark red dimples that hold the dark red spring-loaded anthers are produced in mid to late spring and can literally cover the plant for weeks. A highly prized evergreen native shrub, the Mountain Laurel, Kalmia latifolia, slowly develops into a naturally rounded medium to large shrub with deep green foliage. Like Azaleas and Blueberries, it needs a moist acidic, well-drained soil along with an organic mulch. The flowers attract bumblebees and other pollinators. The At Last Mountain Laurel was discovered by Dr. Ron Miller about 80 miles north of Pensacola, Florida and is being introduced by Bobby Green and Green Nurseries, Fairhope, Alabama.
