Description
Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Sentinel' was selected way back when as an upright floweriest of manzanitas in the stand. This four to six foot manzanita is a very floriferous manzanita that was part of the hybrid swarm of manzanitas in and around Sonoma County, California. Like 'Harmony' manzanita but grayer and taller, six by five feet. Sentinel' manzanita will tolerate heavy, rich soils but much happier in sandy loam or sand and is more drought tolerant than the other Arctostaphylos densiflora cultivars. One of the best performers in beach sand, also is known as very clay tolerant. It is one of the plants that has survived our (lack of) care in the garden here. Like most other manzanitas does not tolerate salt spray. 'Sentinel' has red bark and seems to be one of the faster manzanitas. Ours has grown to full size in 2 years. This cultivar is not as hardy as Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Howard McMinn' or Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Harmony'. Our mother plants took a hard hit at 5 degrees F.
