Posted by Elizabeth Foy on Thursday, July 19, 2007 12:31 pm ADTCould anyone tell me if a mountain laurel (kalmia Latifolia) shrub would grow and prosper in PEI? I would like to give one as a gift to someone who lives in PEI but not if it will not thrive. If it would thrive does anyone know where one can be obtained in Canada? I see that Veseys does not list this shrub. I have see one growing in the Mt. Olivet Cemetary in Halifax. Thanks very much.

Posted by peihobby on Friday, July 20, 2007 9:13 am ADTTHe plant will grow on PEI we are in zone 5b, but some parts of pei are in zone 6. So it depends on where you are going to send the tree. As for a supplier you might just do a search and order online.
