MASSACHUSETTS MANZANITA 1gal

If you are looking for a rugged, year-round performer that laughs at the cold, the Massachusetts Manzanita is a top-tier choice for your landscape. This evergreen groundcover is a standout because it stays low to the ground—usually topping out at just 6 to 12 inches tall—while spreading into a lush, thick carpet that chokes out weeds. It craves full sun to partial shade and is incredibly hardy, keeping its deep green leaves even when the winter wind howls. Come spring, you will be treated to tiny, bell-shaped pink flowers, followed by bright red berries that birds absolutely love. Best of all, the leathery texture of the foliage makes it naturally deer and rabbit-resistant, so you won't wake up to a nibbled garden. It is a slow-growing, reliable friend that adds a touch of mountain elegance to any rocky slope or garden border.

Broadleaf evergreen ground cover, prostrate, compact, slow-growing, may grow to about 1 ft high and 6 ft wide; bark reddish-gray and peeling. Leaves are smaller than the species type, medium to dark green, may turn bronzish in winter. Flowers white and somewhat pinkish, abundant. Fruit bright red.
