Arctostaphylos edmundsii 'Carmel Sur' , Groundcover manzanita
Carmel Sur Little Sur Manzanita A California native evergreen shrub with light green leaves that arches up to one foot high in middle and grows to six feet wide. The light pink flowers bloom in the spring. This is the fastest growing ground cover manzanita. A great companion to plant under oaks. It is best to prune in the time when they are flowering to early summer. Each flower cluster terminates the growth of a shoot causing an irregular twiggy branching habit. It is not recommended to prune manzanitas during cool, wet winter months, this encourages fungal pathogens to spread. You can edge in late spring or early summer.
