I added a new shrub to my garden this spring, a pink mountain laurel, Kalmia latifolia ‘Sarah’. This one has bright red buds that open to pinkish-red blooms, with green glossy foliage. This shrub will get about 4′ tall and is much more compact than the native mountain laurels we have here (which I also love!).

I love laurels, and this one is a beauty. Now that I live in Virginia again, maybe I can grow them once more.
Hi Lana,
I know you’re happy to be back home in Virginia! I’m sure laurels will do great there.
