    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From the pygmy forest plant community of California's Mendiceno coast, this probable hybrid between A. hookeri and A. uva-ursi forms a compact, rounded shrub to only about 4' tall with 1/4" green leaves on red stems and, in mid-winter, showy, light pink flowers produced en masse. This clone has been quite black-spot resistant under all conditions. Enjoys sun to dappled shade and tolerates dense clay and heavy winter rain but still prefers only very light summer water at most. Frost hardy to the bottom of zone 8, probably zone 7. Very good container plant.
