Shooting Star Manzanita

August 20, 2024

A selection of one of our favorite species of manzanita that we selected for its very tight compact growth and excellent texture. The foliage texture on this one looks somewhat like Arctostaphylos auriculata or a compact Hebe when viewed from above with a psychedelic geometry thing going on. New growth is bright red and contrasts beautifully with the light blue foliage. Easy to grow so far and seemingly quite garden tolerant, but give it great drainage as they do grow on sand.

Bates Yellow Manzanita

August 20, 2024

Very cool form of Arctostaphylos manzanita! We picked this one up from the wonderful California Flora Nursery on a roadtrip years ago and it has been lighting up the driveway garden at the nursery ever since. Sometimes yellow tipped plants look like they just need a bit of fertilizer, but this one really shines and looks intentional about its yellowy growth tips. Grows at a quick pace but doesn’t get leggy with exuberant growth like some Arcto manzanitas can.

Awesome Red Manzanita

August 13, 2024

One of the best of an already stunning and favorite species of manzanita (Arctostaphylos parajoensis), we first got this plant from Ian Barclay at Desert Northwest Nursery. It likely goes under another name, possibly Brett’s Beauty, but Ian couldn’t remember and so called it Awesome Red for very obvious reasons. It has some of the most vivid red growth of any manzanita, or any plant for that matter, that we’ve ever seen. It contrasts very nicely with the unique dark green and slightly glaucous blue leaf. Very easy to grow if given full sun and well draining soil.

Grey Leaf Sandmat Manzanita

October 25, 2023

An excellent species native to the sandy chaparral and oak woodland surrounding Monterey Bay just north of Carmel, this grey leaf form of sandmat manzanita was widely distributed after being planted at the North Willamette Research Station’s manzanita trial and has proven adaptable to garden conditions even outside of sandy soils. Likely tolerant of a bit of summer water since it grows so near the coast, but we typically give it zero irrigation after establishment here in Portland.

Pozo Summit Big Berry Manzanita

October 25, 2023

A widely distributed species from central to southern California, Arctostaphylos glauca is one of our favorites for its stunning whitish blue leaves and pink stems and petioles. Fairly adaptable and easy to grow if given full sun, excellent drainage and minimal summer water after the first couple years. This collection from near the top of Pozo Summit should be easily hardy to 0° F as it gets quite cold up there.

Diablo’s Blush Manzanita

August 22, 2023

An excellent and rare manzanita that grows only on Mt. Diablo to the east of the Bay Area. New growth emerges a bright pink that contrasts beautifully with the grey foliage and the auriculate foliage provides an amazing texture, especially when viewed from above. Very drought tolerant once established and needing no supplemental watering after its first year or two in the ground.

Kinnikinnick Manzanita

April 18, 2023

The most commonly seen manzanita in landscapes, Kinnikinnick is also the most widespread manzanita species on the planet.

Black Manzanita Fig Tree

October 13, 2022

One of the most exciting wild collected figs to come out of California, Black Manzanita was shared with us years ago by Mike Boss who had recently taken over Sonoma Horticultural Nursery. We assumed that this was another California seedling that might not produce figs without the wasp, but sure enough it produces loads of large and unique figs up here in Oregon.

Real Peach Manzanita

August 31, 2022

A naturally occuring hybrid of Arctostaphylos viscida and A. canescens, this one found outisde of Grants Pass at a site where the Whiteleaf Manzanitas grow into trees.

Sunset Manzanita

December 15, 2021

Sunset Manzanita is a fantastic cross between Arctostaphylos hookeri and Arctostaphylos pajaroensis. This hybrid manzanita drapes itself across a six foot wide space and grows to about three to four feet in height.
