Kalmia latifolia 'Nathan Hale' (Mountain Laurel)

Kalmia latifolia ‘Nathan Hale’ (Mountain Laurel)
Glossy deep-green foliage • Red buds • Pastel pink bloom trusses

‘Nathan Hale’ is a standout Mountain Laurel with a dense, full, rounded habit that looks exceptional both in the nursery and the landscape. Its remarkably glossy, deep-green foliage is so pristine it almost looks polished. In late spring, striking red buds open into large clusters of soft, pastel-pink flowers, creating a show that stops visitors in their tracks.

A top-tier choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, and year-round structure.
