Arctostaphylos ‘John Dourley’ is a low-mounding, evergreen shrub/groundcover featuring copper-red new growth, pink winter-spring flowers and spring purple-red berries. Uses include groundcover, bank stabilizer, erosion control, low hedge, weed suppression, low barrier, or container plant. It requires little to no supplemental water once established. Prefers full sun but is notably shade tolerant compared to other manzanitas, handling partial shade well in hotter inland areas. Thrives in well-drained soil but is tolerant of heavy clay and serpentine soils. Deer-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Fire-resistant if regularly maintained. Cold hardy to 5°F.
