PANCHITO MANZANITA 1gal

The Panchito Manzanita (Arctostaphylos x coloradensis) is a local legend for a reason—it is one of the toughest, most beautiful evergreen groundcovers you can plant in Zones 7 and 8. Known for its smooth, mahogany-red bark and elegant urn-shaped blossoms, this hardy shrub grows about 15 to 24 inches tall but spreads wide, making it a champion at filling space with style. You will love that its waxy, blue-green leaves are naturally animal-resistant, standing strong against deer and rabbits even in the leanest months.

Because it loves our western climate, plant your Panchito in a spot that gets plenty of sun. When you’re getting it settled, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden's native soil to ensure the drainage is just right—manzanitas hate "wet feet." A light application of 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food will give it the boost it needs to establish those deep, drought-tolerant roots. It’s the perfect plant for those who appreciate a bit of wild, earthy beauty that practically takes care of itself.
