Arctostaphylos nevadensis | Pinemat Manzanita | 10 Seeds

Arctostaphylos nevadensis, commonly known as pinemat manzanita, is a low-growing, evergreen shrub native to the western United States, particularly in the mountainous regions of California, Oregon, and Nevada. This hardy plant typically reaches heights of 1 to 3 feet and forms dense mats that can spread up to 10 feet wide. It features small, leathery, dark green leaves that are often covered in a fine layer of hair, giving them a silvery appearance. In the spring, Arctostaphylos nevadensis produces clusters of delicate, urn-shaped, white to pink flowers, which are followed by small red berries. These berries are an important food source for wildlife. The plant thrives in well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils and is highly drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and erosion control. Additionally, it is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including cold temperatures and high elevations. Zones 5-9 Germination To successfully germinate A
