Arctostaphylos edmundsii ‘Carmel Sur’ is a fast-growing, evergreen, prostrate groundcover known for its dense, glossy green foliage, reddish-bronze new growth, and pale pink to white winter/spring flowers. It is one of the fastest-growing and most garden-tolerant manzanita cultivars. Excellent for weed suppression, bank stabilization, erosion control, and as a lawn alternative. Full sun near the coast; requires partial shade in hot inland areas. It is highly adaptable to soil conditions; tolerates heavy clay, sandy, and serpentine soils. Low to moderate water needs once established, it is more tolerant of regular garden irrigation and summer water than most manzanitas. Deer-resistant. Verticilium wilt-resistant. Fire-resistant when maintained. Cold hardy to 10°F.
