Mountain Laurel
Now that spring has returned, we can admire and celebrate new life. To begin our series of Wildflower Wednesdays, we’re highlighting a flowering plant that you can find everywhere from city gardens to mountainsides. Mountain laurel (kalmia latifolia) is a shade-tolerant North American evergreen shrub that produces delicate clusters of mesmerizing flowers. Mountain laurel blooms in the spring and the color of its flowers can range from white to pink to deep rose. This photograph was taken in late June, on a trail within Moshannon State Forest in western Pennsylvania. Mountain laurel is the state flower of both Pennsylvania and Connecticut and is frequently found in oak-hickory forests throughout the eastern US.

Laurel Blooms
Oh heeeey, Olympic fire mountain laurel. 😍 I almost always include kalmias in my cottage garden designs. Why? Because they blossom vibrantly in full to part shade, their buds are as striking as their blooms, they’re evergreen, and they grow 5 feet tall and wide, making mountain laurel a great space filler. Paired with rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, hostas, ferns, bleeding hearts, and foxgloves, they’re just lovely. Mountain laurels also grow best with the same acidifying soil conditioner...
