This prostrate manzanita grows 1 ft. high and 10 ft. wide. It is noted for its garden tolerance and clean appearance. It has gray- green foliage. Performs best with occasional deep watering. Takes full sun on coast, light shade in hotter inland areas. Good in mixed borders, on banks and in windy coastal areas.

Manzanitas are good under native oak trees.
