Kalmia latifolia 'Minuet'

 

Minuet Mountain Laurel captivates beyond its refined floral display through exceptional evergreen foliage texture and year-round architectural interest. This dwarf cultivar produces white flowers with distinctive red-maroon spotted bands that contrast beautifully with pink flower buds, creating sophisticated color layering. Reaching 3 feet in both height and width, its compact mounded form excels in foundation plantings and intimate garden spaces across hardiness zones 4–9. The combination of fine-textured foliage and delicate floral presentation makes it an exceptional choice for gardeners prioritizing refined ornamental character and sustained seasonal interest in space-constrained applications.

 

Minuet Mountain Laurel thrives in well-draining soil conditions and benefits from moderate watering practices—excessive moisture poses greater establishment risk than periodic drought stress. In clay-predominant soils, incorporating pine bark or comparable organic soil amendments substantially improves drainage and root development. This soil preparation approach proves equally beneficial for companion acid-loving species including camellias, rhododendrons, and azaleas, establishing optimal growing conditions that support sustained vigor and reliable long-term performance across diverse landscape applications.

 

Minuet will begin shipping on March 1st, 2026.

Be sure to use a well drained soil medium when planting any Mountain Laurel as they prefer fall planting with 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.
