Firecracker Mountain Laurel

An evergreen shrub for bird-lovers
Kalmia, or mountain laurel, is an evergreen shrub with eye-catching flowers, and Firecracker Kalmia delivers a unique twist. You'll enjoy its glossy green foliage in all four seasons, and its flowers are an unbelievable bonus! Each bud starts in bright red, then opens to white, creating a bicolored effect. The flowers last from late spring into early summer. Kalmia is incredibly disease resistant, and birds love it for shelter and nesting. Firecracker Kalmia attracts pollinators, too! A note on care—mountain laurel has a shallow root system and needs watering more often than most shrubs. Water your Kalmia regularly, and use mulch to help the soil retain moisture.
