Plant Information

Ghostly white foliage is almost too pale to be believed and ‘Ghostly’ is an apt name. A moderate growing Manzanita to 8’ tall and 4’ wide in 5 years. Fast growing in our climate. Do not be afraid to cut back lanky new growth for a more upright and sturdier plant. Prune in July. In late winter and early spring clusters of white urn shaped flowers appear at the branch tips and delight hummingbirds. There is no more silver/white foliaged Manzanita that we have seen. Truly spectacular in well-drained soil with good air circulation and little summer water once established. From a species native to the Santa Cruz Mtns. in California and surprisingly cold hardy. Plant type: Shrub | Sun exposure: Full Sun Biome: Deer Resistance, Low Water/No Water, Western Native Foliage color: Silver/Gray | Foliage season: Evergreen Source: Xeraplants.com
