KINNIKINNICK MANZANITA 1gal

A low-growing, spreading evergreen groundcover, typically reaching only six to twelve inches tall but spreading two to six feet wide, forming a beautiful mat of deep green, leathery leaves. This is a plant perfectly adapted to our unique climate. In late winter to early spring, it produces clusters of delicate, urn-shaped pink or white flowers that are a delight to behold and attract early pollinators. These are often followed by small, bright red berries that add another touch of color and are a food source for birds.

Kinnikinnick Manzanita is a tough and resilient plant that absolutely loves full sun and well-drained soil – think rocky slopes and sunny banks, it feels right at home! Once established, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, making it a great choice for water-wise gardens in our region. And the good news for those concerned about wildlife is that it's generally considered deer-resistant.

To give your Kinnikinnick Manzanita the best start, plant it in well-drained soil in a sunny location. After planting, a layer of Watters Premium Mulch can help conserve the little moisture it needs and suppress weeds. This native beauty is quite self-sufficient and generally doesn't require a lot of supplemental feeding. However, a light application of Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food in early spring can give it a gentle boost.

Kinnikinnick Manzanita is ideal for erosion control on slopes, as a groundcover in sunny, dry areas, cascading over walls, or adding a touch of native beauty to rock gardens. It's a low-maintenance workhorse that brings year-round greenery and seasonal interest to our mountain landscapes!
