Comments (3)You're welcome. I love mountain laurel also. I have a spot marked out for some, but haven't gotten around to buying them yet.... Try a Google Images search for "Kalmia latifolia" to see some of the newer red and pink cultivars. (A search for "mountain laurel" will also yield many photos of an unrelated purple-flowered Texas shrub.)...See MoreWhite Flowering ID on Shrub Please!

Comments (6)You are absolutely right! I love this forum. Thank you to both gardeners for your help! I am totally unfamiliar with this plant. I googled information and it seems that full sun encourages flowers for Weigela. My plant has had only 2-3 hidden clusters of flowers all season. I saw some shrubs which were totally covered in flowers on another website. I'd LOVE to see that happen in my yard. As it is, it is almost boring enough to take out and discard. This plant is on the NW side of my home where it only receives morning sun due to shading, etc. It also receives the lions share of bitter wind during winter- if that matters. Do you think that moving it to FULL SUN is enough to encourage blooms? I will fertilize. Do you have any other advice for nurturing it to its best? Thank you again in advance!...See Morecvw_ky
