Arctostaphylos 'Sunset' (Manzanita)

Description

Looking for color in your garden? Sunset Manzanita may be for you! This beautiful shrub earns its name, Sunset Manzanita, as its foliage grows from a reddish-orange hue to a olive/dark shade of green as it ages. Its mature bark is an equally attractive cinnamony-red color, showing off a honey brown under layer as it sheds. White to pink bell-shaped flowers during its blooming season.

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.
