Kalmia latifolia ‘Pink Charm’

Kalmia latifolia ‘Pink Charm’ offers deep pink buds and rich pink flowers with a narrow dark pink ring near the base of the corolla. Ideal for a lightly shaded, woodland setting, providing year round protection for birds. Effective in mixed shrub borders. The attractive stems are a nice purplish-red. Mountain laurels are a Rhododendron-like shrub with dark green, evergreen foliage and jewel-like clusters of small, cupped, usually multicoloured flowers. The different colour combinations in white, pink, red, and burgundy are often bold and striking. With time, Kalmia usually develop a more open, architectural form versus the “round green blob” of Rhodos. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer resistant.
