A multi-stemmed, upright, globe shaped native plant. Grows to a height of 6 to 8 feet. Spread 6 to 8 feet. The small to medium sized leaves are dark green with a glossy sheen and the edges are wavy or twisted. The foliage is an excellent contrast to the flowers. In May or June the large deep red or scarlet clusters of star-shaped buds open to clear, soft pink blooms. The five-sided, small cupped flowers are abundant and fade from pink to white with age. For the best flowering possibilities plant in full sun, but will tolerate shade well. Soil condition preference is acidic, moist and well drained. Leaf spot resistant. Exceptional border, foundation and specimen broadleaf evergreen. Well suited for mass planting, do not be afraid to plant too many. Effective when planted along rustic paths for a naturalized appearance.
These plants were propagated from selected native Mountain Laurel showing the glossiest foliage and most dense growth habit. Intensity of flower color depends on temperature and light exposure as buds open. Although slow growing when first planted, certainly well worth the wait. Does best in filtered sun. Extremely well drained acidic soil, similar to woodland conditions. Should be planted shallow, so roots are just covered and mulched with oak leaves and/or pine needles, which will leach acid into your soil. This is a woodland plant and has minimal fertility requirements. Native range is Maine to Georgia.
