Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Plant Mountain Laurel in well-drained, acidic soil in partial shade to full shade. Choose a location with dappled sunlight or morning sun and afternoon shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and backfill with soil. Water deeply after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Provide regular watering during dry periods, especially during the first growing season, to help establish roots.
