Arctostaphylos Densiflora 'Howard McMinn' (5 Gallon) Manzanita

About this item

A garden favorite, this easy-to-grow manzanita is prized for its attractive evergreen foliage, beautiful red-brown bark, and extended winter bloom. Flowering later and longer than many other manzanitas, it produces delicate pale pink blossoms that attract pollinators, followed by small red fruits.

With its naturally rounded form and glossy green leaves, this versatile shrub makes a striking specimen plant, a neatly sheared hedge, or an informal privacy screen. It’s also an excellent choice for native gardens and slopes. More tolerant of heavier soils and regular garden maintenance than many manzanitas, it offers lasting beauty with relatively low water needs. For best results, provide good drainage and occasional deep summer watering in hotter climates.
