Notes
'Snowdrift' mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia 'Snowdrift') is a shrub for foundation plantings, hedges, and accent plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun. White flower clusters open in late spring and attract butterflies and bees. The shiny, dark green leaves stay on the plant all winter. It grows in a dense, mounded shape.
Pairs well with Panicle hydrangea, Ostrich fern, and Snowdrop.
