Kalmia latifolia 'Elf'

 

 

This enchanting dwarf Mountain Laurel captures the ethereal elegance of fantasy realms with delicate pink buds that unfurl into pristine white blooms, persisting for weeks on evergreen branches. Compact foliage distinguishes this cultivar from its wild tree-form relatives, while flowers maintain their full-sized splendor despite the plant's diminished stature. The glossy, year-round foliage and naturally mounded habit make it exceptionally versatile for confined spaces and foundation plantings where larger varieties would overwhelm the landscape.

 

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Mountain Laurel as they prefer less watering than you might think. In NC our soil is clay so we prefer to use pine bark soil conditioner when planting Camellia, Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, and Azalea.
