DESCRIPTION
Arctostaphylos 'Pacific Mist' is a low-growing evergreen shrub prized for its silvery-blue foliage and elegant, spreading growth habit. Its narrow, smooth leaves create a soft, textured appearance that enhances garden spaces with year-round color. In late winter to early spring, clusters of small, pale pink to white, urn-shaped flowers appear, adding a delicate touch and providing an early-season nectar source for pollinators.

Arctostaphylos 'Pacific Mist' thrives in rugged conditions, making it a reliable choice for erosion control and native plant landscapes. Its flowing, ground-hugging form and distinctive foliage make it ideal for rock gardens, slopes, or as a drought-tolerant ground cover.
