*RETAIL - Arctostaphylos manzanita 'St. Helena'

From Napa Valley in California, a beautiful form of a very useful genus in the west -- plants to 6ft or so in time, or to 10ft if helped along a bit. Deep green leaves of only about 1” and dark mahogany stems. The late winter flowers are white aging to shell pink. Very happy with summer drought, but also, unlike many manzanitas, willing to tolerate some summer garden water -- but only some so best not to over-do it. Mineral soil is best and full sun to dappled shade. Sadly, intolerant of conditions in the east coast states. Low USDA zone 8.
