Longer lasting pink flowers make this compact 2' x 2' evergreen a real treasure in spring; perhaps faster growing, also, though they' re never speedy!; a handsome evergreen for foundation or shady border. Shade-PSh/Med(Notdry)
Deep pink, long lasting flowers, rich humusy soil, regular water. Plant is poisonous, Zones 5-9.
This 2 x 2' miniature plant is reputed to be somewhat faster growing than 'Tiddlywinks' and a deeper pink color. One can't have too many small Kalmias!!

An excellent replacement for 'Tiddlywinks'. Flowers are deeper pink and longer lasting. Our experience leads us to feel its also faster growing.
