Arctostaphylos ‘John Dourley’
A slow growing mounding shrub that can reach the height of three feet tall by six feet wide. Pink flower clusters bloom in the summer. The bark is a cinnamon color and the leaves are blue green.
It is best to prune in the time when they are flowering to early summer. Each flower cluster terminates the growth of a shoot causing an irregular twiggy branching habit. It is not recommended to prune manzanitas during cool, wet winter months, this encourages fungal pathogens to spread. You can edge in late spring or early summer.

- Periodic deep irrigation in summer (1" once a month)
- Attracts bees and hummingbirds
- Deer resistant
- Hardy up to 10 degrees
