Sunset is a nice manzanita that is well behaved and grows most anywhere.
Description
Sunset Manzanita is a
sprawling, evergreen shrub that commonly grows three foot high
and six feet wide. If you sheer the top a few times the plant can be
easily held to two foot high. This hybrid manzanita is a cross of
Arctostaphylos hookeri and Arctostaphylos pajaroensis. Sunset
manzanita has dark red bark, white flowers(with a little pink),
and bright bronze red(all the colors of the rainbow) new growth. Sunset
manzanita has some of the good color of Arctostaphylos pajaroensis but
is more drought tolerant, better looking the rest of the year, neater,
more compact, doesn't need to be pruned, etc., etc. So.. if you like
the color use Arctostaphylos pajaroensis 'Paradise' manzanita, but if
you're doing a smaller area, like uniformity or don't like the pruning
idea use 'Sunset' manzanita. This natural hybrid likes good drainage
(but tolerates clay well), and is found on sandy hills in Monterey
County. Has done well in adobe and many of the San Joaquin Valley
soils. One of the best foundation plants we have. Stunning against a
brick wall or redwood fence. Stunning on a slope as tall, large area
ground cover. In coastal plantings it has looked good and performed
well for twenty years with no extra water. One of the prettiest bushes
or large groundcovers available for sale.
Weird that people plant all sorts of plants that look awful after a year or two when this plant looks nice for decades.
