Hairy Manzanita

Overview

Hairy Manzanita (Arctostaphylos columbiana) is a woody evergreen shrub that grows up to twenty feet tall. It has long, weeping branches and is densely covered with small hairs. The leaves are small, oval-shaped, leathery and range in color from a yellow-green to a deep dark green. Its greenish-white flowers bloom in winter and are followed by small, indented fruit. This hardy plant stands up to windy conditions and can flourish in sandy soils. It attracts both birds and bees, providing food and a place to nest. The Hairy Manzanita is native to the Pacific Northwest and its beautiful, pendulous growth is a welcome sight in coastal landscapes.
