Re: [SG] kalmia

Susan,
I have been growing kalmia for about 8 years in zone 5.  Give it a try.  I put
a burlap tent around them each winter.  I only have two and have killed about
5, but I don't think it was the cold, I think it was my soil.  I think they
got too dry.  The ones that have survived get morning light, soil that drains
well, but get water often.
Give them a try.  You might want to buy some from Forest Farm, for a smaller
price just to grow a bunch and see what lives.  Good luck.
