Description
Kalmiopsis ‘Glendoick’’ Dwarf evergreen shrublets one to two feet in height. The small, oval to rounded leaves are deep green above, glistening glandular scaly beneath. The bell-shaped flowers (mid-spring) are rose to purplish red in terminal and axillary clusters. They are quite attractive and somewhat reminiscent of the flowers of Kalmia. This is a hybrid produced at Glendoick Nursery in Scotland between what are now considered to be two separate species (leachiana and fragrans), both endemic to the Siskiyou Mountains of SW Oregon. Extremely rare in cultivation, requiring extremely well-drained soil with bright light but protection from hot afternoon sun. Our first offering of a plant that I am pretty sure has never been offered for sale previously in North America. (-5) RSBG $37.00
