European
Kalmia
Society
Introduction

Kalmia are mainly evergreen shrubs that are native to the North American continent. Kalmia angustifolia is also known in some places in the wild in Europe.

The genus includes nine species according to the latest botanical classification. It belongs to the scientific family Ericaceae.

Kalmia is named by Carl von Linné after the Finnish-Swedish botanist Pehr Kalm, who collected it in eastern North America.

Goal of the European Kalmia Society is to make the genus Kalmia more popular, support hybridizing, production and spreading of Kalmia species and cultivars.

Special Features

Hybridizing of Kalmia cultivars is still a great challenge. The pollination is quite specific.
