Babyfoot Blue Manzanita

Babyfoot Blue Manzanita

Babyfoot Blue Manzanitam – a funky little hybrid manzanita groundcover from the Kalmiopsis Wilderness not far from Babyfoot Creek that we were immediately smitten by. Seems to be an easy one in cultivation so long as you provide well draining soil and minimal summer water after establishment. Super cute round leaves that have a nice blue hue to them. Sometimes you find bigfoot and sometimes you find babyfoot…
