Description

Howard McMinn Manzanita is one of the most popular and garden-adaptable manzanitas, prized for its dense, rounded form, profuse flowering, and tolerance for a wider range of soils. It forms a neat, compact mound of rich green foliage. In late winter to early spring, it is covered in clusters of light pink, urn-shaped flowers, followed by small red berries. Its reliability, manageable size, and exceptional wildlife value have made it a cornerstone of California native and water-wise gardens.

• Profuse Pink Spring Blooms: Blanketed in showy clusters of pale pink flowers from late winter into spring, attracting hummingbirds and bees.

• Dense, Rounded & Compact: Maintains a very neat, mounded habit without pruning, typically reaching 4-6 feet tall and wide.

• Garden-Adaptable: Tolerates clay soils and occasional summer water better than many other manzanitas, making it more forgiving for gardeners.

• Excellent for Hedging & Mass Planting: Its dense growth makes it perfect for informal hedges, screens, or mass plantings.

• Low Maintenance & Drought Tolerant: Requires little care once established and is highly resistant to pests and diseases.
