Sandmat Manzanita
Arctostaphylos Pumila
Overview
Arctostaphylos pumila, commonly known as Sandmat Manzanita, is an evergreen groundcover native to California's coastal regions. Thriving in full sun, it features a dense mat of glossy green leaves and bears striking pinkish-white urn-shaped flowers in late winter to early spring. This drought-tolerant species typically spans 6 to 12 inches high and spreads up to 3 feet wide, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens and erosion control.
