Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining, acidic seed-starting mix and press them gently into the soil without covering, as they need light to germinate. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking several weeks to months. Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sheltered location until they are large enough to be planted outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen planting outdoors, choose a site with partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape if desired. Mountain Laurel is generally low-maintenance once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835972583734,"sku":"FOLIA2-1418","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7850960913_fhr3.jpg?v=1793096698","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-mountain-laurel-seeds-kalmia-latifolia-native-evergreen-shrub","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
