A Bit More

Arctostaphylos ‘Pacific Mist’ is a fast-growing, evergreen prostrate shrub/groundcover known for gray-green foliage, sparse, white flowers, and pinkish-brown bark. Uses include groundcover, erosion control, weed-suppression, container plant, low screen, hedge, lawn alternative, bank and slope stabilizer, or for cascading over retaining walls. Good under live oaks. Tolerates various soil types including clay, serpentine, and rocky soils, though it prefers well-drained, acidic soil. It is more shade-tolerant than most manzanitas; thrives in full sun to partial/dry shade. Low water usage in coastal or milder areas; moderate in hotter inland climates. Deer and rabbit resistant. Fire-resistant if maintained. Resistant to Verticillium Wilt. Cold hardy to 0°F.
