I would like to plant a Mountain Laurel bush and would like to know if it will take sun? I live in Northwest Ohio Zone 5A but today they say we are in Zone 6A.
I wold like one that would only get 2 to 3 feet tall and wide.
I would have to make the soil Acidic since my soil has a PH of 7.

If you know of another bush that fits this please let me know if Mountain Laurel will not work.
It would be facing West along a driveway and at a end of a flower garden that is along a sidewalk. What I am looking for is something that would catch your eye.
The soil is clay but drains very good and has decayed wood mulch in it.

Is your plant one of these?

Texas Mountain Laurel (Dermatophyllum secundiflorum)
Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia)
Tasmanian Mountain Laurel (Anopterus glandulosus)

I have a ML that I thought/think was/is a Texas ML. Only gets afternoon sun. Soil is alkaline, 7.6 or so. On the west side of the house, in a corner. Gets sun 12ish until 2pmish; 3-4 or 3-5pm. I do not mulch very well (deeply) there but it always has some mulch (1" ).
