BEARBERRY MANZANITA 3gal

The Mock Bearberry (Arctostaphylos x 'Mock Bearberry') is a gardener’s dream for adding lush, year-round greenery and rugged character to a landscape. Perfect for Zones 7 and 8, this versatile evergreen shrub acts as a fantastic low-growing hedge or a structural groundcover, typically reaching about 3 to 4 feet in height. You will appreciate its small, leathery leaves and delicate white blossoms that resemble tiny bells. Even better, its tough, waxy foliage makes it highly animal-resistant, standing strong against deer that might wander through your yard.

To help it establish deep, resilient roots, plant your Mock Bearberry in a sunny to partially shaded spot. I always recommend blending Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to provide the drainage and acidity these manzanita-cousins love. A consistent diet of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food will keep the foliage glossy and the plant vigorous through every season. It is a piece of earthy wisdom personified: tough, beautiful, and perfectly adapted to our climate.
