{"product_id":"minuet-mountain-laurel","title":"Minuet Mountain Laurel ","description":"\u003cp\u003eMinuet Mountain Laurel brings refined structure, handsome foliage and late-spring bloom to places where many flowering shrubs struggle. This dwarf native cultivar, Kalmia latifolia ‘Minuet’, stays a manageable 2–3' tall and wide, making it easy to work into smaller garden plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA smarter fit for small spaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get the beauty of mountain laurel without the size of the wild species. Its compact, rounded habit works well near foundations, in rock gardens, along shaded borders or tucked into woodland-style plantings. Because it grows slowly, it offers a neat presence without quickly outgrowing its place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor when the shade garden needs it\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight pink buds form the season before bloom, giving you interest before the flowers even open. In late spring, the buds become crisp white, cup-shaped blooms marked by a bold maroon-to-cinnamon band inside each flower. The look is detailed and distinctive, adding a polished accent to dappled shade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvergreen value after the blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinuet keeps its dark, glossy green foliage through winter, so your planting bed does not go bare after the growing season. The smaller leaves create a dense, refined texture, while older branches can develop a naturally crooked, architectural look that adds quiet character over time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA beautiful choice for woodland gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shrub is well suited to cool, acidic, rich, well-drained soil and partial shade or dappled sunlight. It pairs naturally with rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, ferns, heuchera and other shade-loving companions. Its flowers also attract bumblebees, butterflies and hummingbirds, helping your garden feel lively in late spring. Deer resistance adds another practical benefit, especially in gardens where browsing is a concern. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spring Hills Nursery","offers":[{"title":"PREMIUM \/ 1 Plant(s) | Ships in Spring","offer_id":51323944927528,"sku":"73019","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PREMIUM \/ 1 Plant(s) | Ships in Fall","offer_id":51880089583912,"sku":"64554","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/5784\/1448\/files\/73019.webp?v=1767801780","url":"https:\/\/springhillnursery.live\/products\/minuet-mountain-laurel","provider":"Spring Hill Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
