Arctostaphylos manzanita 'Hood Mountain' | Hood Mountain Manzanita

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Arctostaphylos manzanita ‘Hood Mountain’ carries dense branching clothed in small, leathery, gray-green leaves that create a refined evergreen canopy throughout the year. Smooth bark develops warm cinnamon and reddish tones that add subtle color along the twisting stems. From late winter into early spring, clusters of soft pink, urn-shaped flowers appear along the branches, their delicate bells hanging in tight groups and bringing early seasonal interest.

This selection traces its heritage to Arctostaphylos manzanita native to the coastal mountains of northern California. In gardens it lends evergreen structure to borders, naturalistic plantings, and wildlife-friendly landscapes, where the winter flowers provide nectar for early pollinators.
