Arctostaphylos 'Emerald Carpet' (Manzanita)

Description

This is a lovely, compact ground cover with glossy, deep-green leaves, white flowers in late winter, followed by red berries for a pop of color.

Manzanitas are popular for their shiny red or mahogany colored bark. Manzanitas have urn-shaped flowers that vary from pink to white and are popular with hummingbirds. They are very drought tolerant and evergreen, always looking green and healthy even in the hottest, driest part of the summer.
