    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    May the bird of paradise fly up your nose. This wonderful plant is one of the longest blooming of the manzanita clan, as well as being very easy to grow. It makes a low, mounding shrub to about 4' tall and 8' across with all the usual wonderful manzanita features: smooth red bark, red berries, and lots of flowers, which in this case are a nice, deep pink! Ideal for that dry spot in your garden, it doesn't mind a little occasional water either so long as drainage is adequate.

    An open shrub to 10' with a spreading habit. Bark exfoliates in thin shreds revealing a smooth, dark mahogany surface. Pink flowers bloom from December to February. New foliage unfolds a brilliant coppery-red giving the appearance of a fiery bush when backlit, then slowly fades to bronze tinted with green. This selection is not a reliable performer in heavy soils. Hardy to 15F.

    Large clusters of flowers of a lovely shade of pink in winter. Older foliage is blue-green and the newest growth is bronze red. Should be able to tolerate some summer water.
