Arctostaphylos Sonoma Manzanita Bush
Stanford Manzanita.
play movie
Sonoma manzanita was not impressive until it flowered. The large pink
flowers made quite an impression on everyone. The foliage is neat,
green, and glossy. The bark is deep red and clean. A nice plant for a
showy hedge. Add a few Ceanothus
Concha, or Ceanothus 'Frosty
Blue'. The plant keys to Arctostaphylos
stanfordiana, but the plant has something else in it and appears
hybrid. The low form, clean foliage and mass of flowers look like a
(naturally occurring?) hybrid of Arctostaphylos
stanfordiana, Arctostaphylos densiflora and maybe some Arctostaphylos manzanita. They all
occur next to each other in the wild, and all hybridize with each
other. Click here for
