Bonny Doon Hybrid Manzanita
A selection from near Bonny Doon that confused us at first as it looks like silvicola but with hairy stems and slightly different foliage. Better manzanita experts than us determined it was likely a hybrid of silvicola and crustacea ssp. crinita. Whatever it is, it’s a stunning blue and a vigorous upright grower. Real nice!
