Arctostaphylos densiflora 'Howard McMinn |

Howard McMinn Manzanita |
This shrub is highly appreciated for its dense show of small, pale pink, urn-shaped flowers that bloom in winter. The mahogany-red to brown bark (which peels beautifully) is the major attraction. Evergreen foliage is light green and densely covers the shrub. It is hardy, tolerating sandy and clay soil, but prefers well draining soil. It slowly reaches 4'-6' tall and 6' wide.

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.
If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
