Description

This prostrate manzanita grows 1 ft. high and 10 ft. wide. It is noted for its garden tolerance and clean appearance. It has gray-green foliage with attractive red stems. Performs best with occasional deep watering. Takes full sun on coast, afternoon shade in hotter inland areas. Does not tolerate desert areas. Good in mixed borders, on banks and in windy coastal areas. Pink flowers appear in the spring but the main attraction is the dense foliage. Will tolerate clay soil as long as the area does not flood.

Water Saving Tip:

Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.

Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
