An evergreen shrub, 3-5' tall, with dark green leaves with reddish tips. A very nice manzanita if you live near the ocean. It grows in old acid sand dunes in the central coast ranges. It has drought tolerance in its range, but inland give it some afternoon shade. It is doing fine here under our oaks. Rainfall is about 45".
Syn. Arctostaphylos sensitiva.
