Kalmia latifolia ‘Star Magic’ is a standout evergreen shrub, prized for its beautifully patterned blooms that look almost too perfect to be real. In late spring to early summer, clusters of soft pink flowers open to reveal bold burgundy star markings at their centre, creating a striking and unusual display. Paired with its glossy, deep green foliage, it brings structure, detail and a real talking point to shaded parts of the garden.
