Market price from $16.99 to $34.50

Arctostaphylos 'John Dourley' is the quintessential landscape shrub that combines versatility, adaptability, and remarkable appeal. Known as the John Dourley Manzanita, this splendid evergreen caters to a year-round visual feast with its intricate showcase of gray-green foliage set against a striking backdrop of mahogany-colored bark. It reaches a mature height of 2 to 5 feet and spreads enthusiastically to a generous 8 feet width, serving as an impeccable ground cover or a unique addition to slopes, thanks to its spreading habit. In late winter and early spring, it adorns itself with clusters of dainty, bell-shaped pink flowers, gracefully held aloft the foliage and later replaced by berry-like fruits, becoming a wildlife magnet. Flaunting an intuitive sense of survival, this North American native thrives in a range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade and effortlessly withstands drought and less than ideal soil conditions. Meet the John Dourley Manzanita, a symbiosis of stunning aesthetics and practicality, making it an irreplaceable centerpiece for any water-wise and native garden design.
