Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Kalmia latifolia 'Raspberry Glow' has glowing deep pink buds opening to pink flowers. 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.

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
