Arctostaphylos Ian Bush Manzanita
Identification
Description
Ian Bush manzanita is a seedling of Arctostaphylos densiflora, and is a probable hybrid with the other parent being Arctostaphylos pungens. It is fast to four feet and seems to stabilize at five feet with a very open form. The green foliage and smooth red bark make the whole bush a great mini-specimen. For such a small manzanita it is incredibly fast! Make a manzanita hedge or use as single plant in a small garden. This is the manzanita you want to plant in a small garden for the smooth red bark. Flower show can be nice. The flowers are like pink fireworks exploding at the end of the stems(I know, I know, but it was the best I could describe them.) Ok this one is a seedling that came up in the shade, BUT we planted seven of them in full sun, watered once (in February, not summer!) and they ALL lived. Ian bush also seems to tolerate regular garden conditions well. Click here for more about California Manzanitas(Arctostaphylos).
