Arctostaphylos imbricata - San Bruno Mt. Manzanita

Description

This rare and unusual manzanita is found only on San Bruno Mountain. Unlike most of the low Arctostaphylos it has large, light green clasping leaves. This gives it a distinctive look that could be used to good effect in combination with other grey green shrubs such as Salvias. Appreciates a sunny well drained spot in the garden.
