Description

This is a compact, low growing variety of manzanita that performs best near the coast and requires protection from the direct sun in inland areas. Very slow growing but will eventually spread to about 6-8' W. Stays under 1' H. Flowers are in clusters of white to pinkish white urns in the winter to early spring months. Virtually no care once established.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
