Growing Texas Mountain Laurel? Here’s what you need to know: 1. Gets these beautiful blooms each spring - smell like grape punch 2. Drought-tolerant and tough plant 3. Slow-growing small multitrunked tree 4. You might see genista caterpillars - hand pick, leave them for the birds or if the infestation is severe, treat Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a bacterial insecticide that only kills the caterpillars. #texasmountainlaurel #genistacaterpillar #arizonagarden #desertblooms #desertgarden #landscap

The mountain-laurel (Kalmia latifolia) are in full bloom here in the Philadelphia area, and they are super gorgeous! I make sure to get out and see them each year when they flower. Growing as a gnarled understory shrub or small tree, the mountain-laurel likes cool, well-drained, acidic soils. It's rather tough to grow these in cultivation, but they do sell various cultivars with all sorts of interesting flower modifications. #nativeplants #nativetrees #tree #plants #shrubs #mountainlaurel #kalmi
