Kalmia polifolia is a dwarf, evergreen shrub with a low, spreading habit that is perfect for the front of acid borders or path edges, pairing beautifully with rhododendrons and azaleas. Its slender, glossy, deep green leaves provide year-round interest, while mid-to-late spring brings a dazzling display of purple-pink, saucer-shaped blooms in eye-catching terminal clusters. This low-growing beauty adds vibrant colour, texture and all-year-round foliage to any garden with minimal upkeep. In gardens with alkaline soil it makes a charming specimen for a container filled with ericaceous compost, bringing strong spring impact with its dense blanket of dainty flowers that smother the foliage. Height: 30-60cm (12-24in). Spread: 90cm (35in).

Please note – all parts are toxic if eaten.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Growing Information

Grow Kalmia in reliably moist, well drained, acid soil that has been enriched with plenty of well-rotted organic matter. Choose a position in semi-shade or full sun with shelter from cold drying winds. Kalmia will flower best in full sun but the soil must remain moist through the summer. Kalmia will not tolerate alkaline soil, waterlogging or drought.

Where soil conditions are alkaline, Kalmia are best grown in patio containers, using ericaceous compost.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
