Arctostaphylos ‘Emerald Carpet’ is an evergreen, perennial groundcover, that forms a dense mat with glossy green leaves, red stems, and small, white flowers in winter/spring. Red berries appear in summer. Uses include erosion control on hillsides, weed suppression, lawn substitute, thick, low barrier hedge. Dry shade-tolerant, great for planting under live oaks. It has low water needs, but may need some summer water in hot inland areas to look best. Full sun on the coast, partial shade inland because of hot sun. It thrives in well-draining, loamy, acidic soil. Deer-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 15°F.
