Diohio's Garden

Mountain Laurel, Calico Bush "Olympic Fire"

Genus: Kalmia.

Species: Kalmia latifolia.

I searched for years to find a local nursery that sold Mt. Laurel and finally in 2004 I bought my first one at Wade and Gatton here in Ohio for $30.00 Olympic Fire. The buds are a brilliant deep pink.
