Horticultural selection from Arctostaphylos hookeri. This gorgeous evergreen manzanita is a low growing shrub with bright green leaves. It has flowers that range from a pale pink to white. It doesn't like temperature extremes but does great in inland areas in partial shade. During the warmer summer months some water is needed but it is fairly drought tolerant. Tolerates almost any soil type. Prefers sun in coastal sites, and sun or part shade in inland sites. Selected for the garden from species found in Northern and central Central Coast, western san Francisco Bay Area.
