Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'San Bruno Mountain'
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'San Bruno Mountain'
bearberry
A beautiful selection of bearberry from San Bruno Mountain south of San Francisco. This ground cover manzanita forms a luxuriant mat of large, glossy, spatulate leaves spreading to around 6 feet wide. The soft pink urn-shaped flowers lead to big red showy berries. A natural for coastal plantings where it can grow in full sun with little to no summer water needed. Inland, bearberry does best with shade from the hot afternoon sun and moderate summer watering.
