Emerald Carpet was introduced by Santa Ana Botanical Garden as a functional and beautiful low maintenance groundcover. It is a hybrid of two manzanita species, Arctostaphylos nummularia and the not as drought tolerant Arctostaphylos uva-ursi.
A wonderful and easy manzanita for the Northwest, Sentinel is tolerant of both garden conditions and dry rocky soil, and is incredibly hardy and disease resistant! Fast growing to about 7′ tall by 5′ wide, the leaves are held perpendicular to the stems to reduce moisture loss but it also gives this shrub a fantastic texture! Bark is exfoliating and gorgeous, becoming deep mahogany red in time.
A fantastic and easy manzanita that has stood the test of time! Monica Manzanita is a big one, growing to about 10′ tall and nearly as wide at a quick pace.
John Dourley Manzanita is one of the best Arctostaphylos groundcovers! The new growth is shockingly red before settling to a gorgeous grey/blue with red lining the edges of the leaves.
One of the easiest to grow of any manzanita, Harmony Manzanita is very similar to the popular variety Howard McMinn, at least when young, but in time it develops a far more tree like habit. Leaves are glossy green and beautiful pink flowers appear in late winter for over a month! No water once it’s established.
A fantastic low growing ground cover manzanita that’s one of our favorites. Silvery grey pointed leaves densely cover the low spreading stems and makes for a drought tolerant and weed suppressing evergreen ground cover.
Ghostly Manzanita truly lives up to its name with its pale white and silvery foliage that has traces of pink, especially in the young stems! It’s easily the most silver foliaged of any manzanita we’ve seen and we adore its year round beauty.
