Buy Arctostaphylos manzanita 'Blue Tip' (Thick Leaf)

A Cistus introduction. A very pretty blue-leaved manzanita from Northern Lake County, California, to about 6-8' with a compact shape, and thick, light blue leaves contrasting well with orange-red stems and bark. One of our earlier flowering selections, this one is often showing small chains of large white flowers early to mid December. Easy in cultivation given mineral soil and bright light, tolerating an occasional summer watering if needed. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7.
