Plant description

John Dourley Manzanita is much loved for its reddish bronze new growth, blush-colored berries, and muted green color of older leaves. It is a low, mounding shrub that makes a great understory for mature trees, or a foundation plant for large planters, parkways, banks, or hillsides. Manzanitas provide nectar for hummingbirds, berries for songbirds and wonderful habitat for other native critters.
