Description

Paradise Manzanita, is a sprawling evergreen shrub, that can be used as a ground cover or small border. This manzanita has dark red bark, white to pink flowers, depending upon climate that year and soil, etc., and bright red Christmas-like new growth. If you keep it pruned once a year you will end up with a three foot-round mass of flame red each fall turning nearly purple here. Parajo was in two other coastal gardens where the plants were side trimmed a few times and the manzanitas became these wonderful mounds of foliage colors(green, purple, and red) and flowers. A very unusual, showy manzanita with the red color on the new growth, and the contrast of it with the slate-colored older foliage is so vibrant that everyone that sees this plant in our garden inquires about it. Pajaro manzanita has done fine in full sun to part shade, clay soil to sandy soil. We have planted Paradise in full sun here and it did ok, planted in full shade it elongated a little, but survived. Without water half died in one of the droughts, but half survived, about as drought tolerant as 'Dr. Hurd' manzanita. Probably fully drought tolerant after first year in San Diego, Los Angles, Bay Area or Sacramento.
