Price $10.50

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi ''''Green Supreme'''' - Manzanita
Low-growing, dense and spreading evergreen groundcover 6 inches tall and up to 12 feet wide with glossy, bright green oblanceolate leaves and thin reddish branches and stems. White to pink flowers appear late spring to early summer - A. ''''Green Supreme'''' does not set flower clusters as profusely as other varieties of manzanita. A major plus of this manzanita is that it has no center dieback. The juvenile structure is one of long, radiating runners; lateral branches are then sent out, eventually covering the area between the runners. It is drought resistant and grows well in clay soils. Does well in full sun. Hardy to about 15-20 degrees F.
