Kalmia angustifolia (sheep Laurel, dwarf-laurel, sheepkill)

A pretty little shrub with slender, upright stems and narrow, evergreen leaves. Clusters of small, intricately formed pink flowers appear in late spring or early summer. Spreads slowly to form a colony. Tolerant of partial shade and sterile, wet or dry (sandy) soil. Useful as a ground cover or in meadow plantings. Will probably compete most successfully with other plants where the soil is not too rich.
