Kalmia

any one have Mt Laurel and if so have they started blooming.

I know they are hard to grow in MI. Mine make it through winter no problem and then the leaves start to turn yellow. I lost one after new growth came out. I suspect it was too much fertilizer or Aluminum Sulfate

    PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Do not use "Aluminium Sulphate" it is poison to "Rhodos and Azaleas" and probably many more. "Ferrous Sulphate" does the same job and is a safer product.
