Carol Mountain Laurel
The Carol Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia 'Carol') is a beautiful evergreen shrub prized for its vibrant flowers and glossy foliage. Known for its compact growth habit, 'Carol' typically reaches a height and spread of 4 to 6 feet, making it well-suited for smaller gardens, borders, or as a foundation planting. In late spring to early summer, this cultivar produces an abundance of showy clusters of pink flowers with darker pink markings, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The blooms not only attract pollinators but also provide a charming display when in full bloom. The glossy, dark green leaves of 'Carol' provide year-round interest and create a lush backdrop for its colorful flowers. Thriving in acidic, well-drained soil and partial shade, this mountain laurel is relatively low-maintenance once established and benefits from regular watering during dry spells. With its compact size, attractive flowers, and glossy foliage, the Carol Mountain Laurel is a popular choice for adding beauty and interest to gardens and landscapes.
