Description
A wonderful North American Native evergreen flowering shrub, the Pristine Mountain Laurel is a dwarf selection to maybe 4 feet tall and equally as wide making it a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces. In mid to late spring, abundant, large clusters of very unique looking pristine white buds open to equally as pristine white cup-shaped flowers that are a striking contrast to the deep green evergreen foliage. May tolerate full sun in cooler climates of USDA Zone 7 and further north but will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours in zones south of 7. That said, we think mountain laurels just look better and more at home in a partially shaded natural environment. This is one of those plants that will have you always looking forward to spring!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a rounded mound to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Pristine Mountain Laurel is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in pots, or in groupings or as a natural hedge in larger spaces. Also nice in home foundation plantings. Plant this one near outdoor living spaces and paths where the absolutely beautiful flowers can be enjoyed from close up. Very nice near garden ponds, streams and other bodies of water. A fine addition to woodland gardens, white theme gardens, cottage gardens and native plant gardens.
Spacing:Â 3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges; 7 feet or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Mountain Laurels are easy to grow in a moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and part shade. They don’t like a constantly wet or overly dry soil. Provide supplemental water during periods of summer drought to maintain a moist soil, but not waterlogged. Though they will tolerate full sun in cooler climates of Zone 7 and further north, they will appreciate shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours in hot climates. Except to remove a damaged branch they don’t require pruning. Avoid the use of harsh commercial fertilizers as they can cause the leaves to burn. Feed with an organic plant food or organic compost.Â
