Bigberry Manzanita

Arctostaphylos glauca

Bigberry Manzanita (Arctostaphylos glauca) is a landscape plant valued for its form and structure as much as its bloom. It reaches roughly 18 ft at maturity and blooms in late winter. Match it to full sun to part shade and let it go dry between waterings once it is established. One caveat: like any plant, its published range is a guideline, not a guarantee, for the specific microclimate of your yard. Given a spot that matches its light and water needs, it is a dependable, low-drama addition to the yard.
