    In late spring and early summer, this compact mountain laurel looks incredible when fully laden with its bicoloured blooms, which virtually smother the rich green leaves. A great little evergreen, it will help illuminate a partially shaded spot, and even when not in flower, the lustrous foliage will remain to add form and colour.

  • Garden care: Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Requires minimal pruning - cut back specimens that have outgrown their allotted space gradually over two or three years in spring. Apply a generous mulch of well-rotted leaf mould or composted pine needles around the base of the plant each spring.
  • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
