Arctostaphylos (Manzanita
) is a picturesque plant known for its smooth mahogany red bark and crooked branches. In the winter and early spring, urn shaped white-pink flowers appear, followed by berry-like red or brown fruit that attract birds. One of the earliest shrubs to bloom, Arctostaphylos provides food for native pollinators emerging from their winter slumber.
This native shrub can thrive planted almost everywhere as both a ground cover and a tree-like shrub, tolerating rocky, sandy, acidic, or heavy soils. Fun fact: Arctostaphylos regulates its nectar to attract different butterflies and insects at different times throughout the day.
