Description

The large, blue gray leaves of the Big Berry Manzanita become almost blue white in the summer, offering a striking backdrop to the rosy pink flowers and dark purple brown bark. It also bears showy fruit. This shrub reaches 8' tall and wide. This beautiful species from the interior CA coastal ranges needs good drainage, with no summer watering except in the very hottest locations. -Monterey Bay Nursery
