Arctostaphylos pumila
Dune Manzanita, Sandmat M.
Description
One of the most spectacular ground-covering manzanitas, Arctostaphylos pumila grows only in coastal locations. Silver to green leaf color with pink new growth adds to interest of this 1-2' tall manzanita. Arctostaphylos pumila starts out low and hugs the ground in youth; with age it forms giant rings higher in the middle and lower on the margins.

Water Saving Tip:
As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
