Nursery contributed plant descriptions

K. ‘RASPBERRY GLOW’ - is one of the red budded Mt. Laurels. The deep red flowers open to dark pink flowers. Nice deep green foliage backs the pink flowers.
Clusters of burgundy buds open to a rich raspberry color with occasional splashes of white. Small, glossy, dark green leaves form a dense shrub in the landscape. Hardy for most northern areas where it provides a welcome display of color in those sometimes dreary winter gardens. Grow in filtered to full sun with moist, well-drained acidic soils
Glowing raspberry-pink flowers open from burgundy-red buds in early-sum on this year-round-attractive, though somewhat temperamental, shrub; to duplicate nature try: PSh-Shade/Med(not dry)/Acid/GdDrain
Burgundy red buds open to luscious raspberry pink flowers on this fine plant. Dark green foliage. Grows to 4'. VERY NICE!
