Emerald Carpet Manzanita | Arctostaphylos ‘Emerald Carpet’
Emerald Carpet Manzanita is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover prized for its dense mat of glossy green foliage and exceptional drought tolerance. In spring, clusters of small white to pale pink, urn-shaped flowers appear, attracting pollinators. This California native is an excellent choice for erosion control, slopes, and water-wise landscapes, providing year-round beauty with minimal care.
Growing Arctostaphylos ‘Emerald Carpet’
-
Light: Full sun to partial shade; full sun encourages denser growth and more flowers.
-
Soil: Prefers well-draining sandy or rocky soil; thrives in poor, low-fertility conditions.
-
Water: Low water needs once established; drought-tolerant, but benefits from occasional deep watering in extreme heat.
-
Maintenance: Minimal pruning required; shape lightly after flowering if needed. Avoid heavy summer pruning.
-
Hardiness: USDA zones 7–10; ideal for dry, Mediterranean climates.
-
Wildlife: Flowers attract bees and hummingbirds; dense growth provides shelter for small wildlife.
