Arctostaphylos edmundsii, also known as Little Sur Manzanita, is a charming and low-growing evergreen shrub native to the coastal regions of California. This species typically reaches a height of 1 to 3 feet, making it an ideal choice for ground cover or ornamental landscaping. Its branches are covered in smooth, reddish-brown bark, and its leaves are small, elliptical, and deep green, providing an attractive backdrop for the plant's other features. In the spring, clusters of delicate, urn-shaped, pink-to-white flowers bloom, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Following the blooms, it produces small, reddish-brown to dark purple berries that are a valuable food source for local wildlife. Arctostaphylos edmundsii is well-suited for coastal gardens and dry, sandy soils, as it is highly drought-tolerant. This beautiful manzanita species also adds aesthetic appeal to gardens with its sculptural growth habit and provides essential habitat and sustenance for native fauna. Zone
