Emerald Carpet Manzanita

This popular Manzanita, ‘Emerald Carpet’ is valued for its dense, deep green foliage and rapid spreading growth, up to two feet a year. It will grow to about 1′ tall and 6′ wide.

Not a plant for heavy clay, it does well in most other soil types.

A hybrid of two coastal species, a little summer water is necessary away from the coast. An excellent choice for a fresh green appearance throughout the year.

Cultivars such as this are horticultural selections and hybrids, not part of the native ecology but work beautifully in the garden.
