Description

Emerald Carpet Manzanita is a premier, ultra-dwarf groundcover manzanita, forming a dense, flat mat of glossy, bright green foliage. In late winter to early spring, it is adorned with small clusters of pink flowers. Its extremely low, spreading habit and exceptional drought tolerance make it one of the best choices for a water-wise, evergreen groundcover on slopes, in rock gardens, or as a lawn alternative in small, sunny areas.

• Ultra-Dwarf Groundcover Habit: Forms a very dense, flat mat, typically only 8-12 inches tall but spreading 4-6 feet wide.

• Glossy, Emerald Green Foliage: The small, shiny leaves provide a lush, weed-suppressing carpet year-round.

• Tolerates Light Foot Traffic: One of the few manzanitas that can handle occasional, light walking.

• Extreme Drought & Heat Tolerance: Thrives in the hottest, driest, and poorest soils with no summer water once established.

• Perfect for Slopes & Rock Gardens: An ideal solution for erosion control and adding evergreen texture to challenging sites.
