KALLAT07-NA_C
A favorite of both RareFind staff and customers, the open flowers of 'Keepsake' are a dramatic burgundy on the inside, set off by a thin white edge. Outstanding dark green glossy foliage and a well-branched and rounded plant habit. Blooms about a week later than most other mountain laurel varieties.
Possibly our favorite mountain laurel, the flowers of 'Keepsake' are a dramatic burgundy on the inside, set off by a thin white edge. It has outstanding dark green glossy foliage with reddish tones and a well-branched and rounded plant habit. Blooms about a week later than most other varieties. After 5 generations of controlled crosses, Dick Jaynes finally found a keeper!
