Arctostaphylos uva-ursi ‘Wood’s Compact’ is a slow-growing, prostrate shrub that acts as a dense groundcover and features small, pink urn-shaped flowers in winter/spring and red berries. It forms a thick, weed-suppressing mat. Excellent for erosion control on slopes, rock gardens, or as a lawn replacement. It is highly shade tolerant for a manzanita; thrives in full sun to part shade (in hot inland areas). Prefers acidic, well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils. Moderate water needs until established. In hot inland areas, supplement with occasional moderate watering. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant when maintained. Cold hardy to -50°F.
