Kalmia ‘Sterntaler’ is a truly special evergreen shrub, loved for its intricate, star-patterned flowers that appear in late spring. Each pale pink bloom is delicately marked with deep red bands, creating a striking, almost hand-painted effect. With its glossy dark green foliage and compact habit, it adds structure and detail to borders while bringing something a little different to the usual spring display.
