Plant description
Rich pink button-like buds form in clusters, and open to pale pink, cup shaped blooms, which although not particularly large, appear in such abundance, that the display is really very showy. It's a compact evergreen, which even when not in bloom, will offer interest throughout the year with its glossy green leaves.

How to care for Kalmia latifolia Little Linda:
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.
