Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Cistus Introduction, found near savannah in the northeastern Sacramento Valley. One of the largest manzanitas, this handsome selection reaches to 15' or more with a trunk that can be over 8" in diameter. A striking small garden tree with pointed green leaves and, from December through February, white flowers with a pink base. Perfect where an Arbutus menziesii won't fit. Likes the same lean conditions as most other manzanitas but is more tolerant of some summer water. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 7.
