Kalmia microphylla var. microphylla

Alpine laurel is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub that produces delicate pink to rose-purple flowers in summer and thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soils. It prefers cool mountain conditions with partial shade and consistent moisture, making it ideal for rock gardens or woodland settings. Avoid alkaline soils and standing water, and note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
