Here's one great performer!
19 years ago
I am so pleased with this plant, I just have to share. Obviously this plant loves this spot! And you know you gotta feel good as a gardener when that happens.
This is a mountain laurel cultivar (dwarf form): Kalmia latifolia 'Elf'
This first picture is before all the blooms opened so you can see that it does have leaves.
And this is with all the blooms open, it is just covered!
