Franciscan Manzanita

This is a very rare manzanita, only existing in cultivation at several botanical gardens and among plant collectors like myself. Purchased from Linda Vista Natives, this is the low mounding shrub form.

10/19/25 – Starting to fill out, I can imagine this will have a nice growth spurt this winter / spring season. It’s a very cheerful little manzanita.

7/6/25 – 10 months in the ground and looking very good.
