Arctostaphylos hookeri Wayside Manzanita
Identification
Description
This cultivar of Arctostaphylos hookeri manzanita is an evergreen shrub, two high by eight wide, with bright green leaves and a lot of red. Wayside manzanita grows well in partial shade inland to almost full shade in the hottest interior places and also does well in adobe soils if water doesn't stand for more than an hour. Wayside' manzanita grows better if it is sprinkled with some summer water unless in the summer fog belt. A dense mounding ground cover manzanita , its appearance is neat and tidy and is an excellent with dark green pines, brick patios or redwood decks. It did not like our nursery location at all because of the temperature extremes(like many of us), we finally found a spot under a Pinus remorata in part shade up out of the cold that Wayside' seems to like. In places like San Luis Obispo, Monterey or Vista this manzanita is a real winner in full sun or part shade, in places like Paso Robles, Mojave or Boulevard forget it. In the full desert Wayside' looks like it was put in a toaster, and set to dark.
