Believed to be a cross between ‘Sentinel’ and ‘Dr. Hurd’, this hybrid was discovered by Native Sons Nursery and named in honor of a valued volunteer. Glossy green leaves and dark maroon-brown bark form an attractive backdrop for large clusters of soft pink flowers. The blooms appear in early winter, providing a valuable nectar source for hummingbirds and bees. Over time, this upright manzanita can reach a height of up to 10 feet and a width of 8 ft or more. More garden tolerant than ‘Dr. Hurd’, ‘Austin Griffiths’ accepts occasional irrigation but can be drought tolerant once established.
