Sonoma Hoary Manzanita
A favorite manzanita of many Arcto-philes, this clone introduced by one of our favorite local nurseries, Xera Plants, it has become very popular since they introduced it. We’ve rarely seen an Arctostaphylos canescens that we didn’t want to grow, but this subspecies and form is particularly pleasing with silvery blue leaves and pink stems on new growth that age to become stunning mahogany trunks. Not the easiest manzanita to cultivate so be sure to site it very carefully, but once it is established it is a wonderful addition to the landscape.
