Arctostaphylos stanfordiana bakeri Louis Edmunds Manzanita
Identification
Description
Louis Edmunds manzanita is an eight to ten foot evergreen shrub. The old name is Arctostaphylos stanfordiana ssp. bakeri and the new name is Arctostaphylos bakeri ssp. bakeri). The selection or cultivar name is Louis Edmunds. The manzanita to plant for the gray foliage and purple, not red, bark. This manzanita is not as drought tolerant as the densifloras nor as tolerant of summer water. It will survive in the interior heat ok, but make sure you keep the water and fertilizer down(to nothing if possible), as it will grow into a tumbleweed and die. Louis Edmunds seems garden tolerant and grows fine at our location. This manzanita is a winner in heavy clay soils or serpentinite, but also does fine in loam or even granite. When the pink flowers cover the plant in April and May the hummingbirds park in it. Louis Edmunds is a show stopper against a dark background or mixed in with dark green Ceanothus like Tassajara Blue or Owlswood Blue.
