Panchito manzanita
Arctostaphylos x coloradensis 'Panchito'
Panchito manzanita is an outstanding selection of a native, broadleaf evergreen from the Uncompaghre Plateau in western Colorado. Tiny, waxy, urn-shaped flowers are very appealing. Small red berries can be produced on established plants. First selected and cultivated by Betsy Baldwin-Owens. Evergreen shrub.
Tips from the pros: Does best when planted on slopes with good drainage - consider expanded shale or squeegee when amending clay soil. Seems to prefer shade in the late afternoon. Give it room to grow, even though it's slow to establish.
