Arctostaphylos 'Blue Bear' is a Dancing Oaks Selection. Nursery owners Fred and Leonard wrote "3x3 amazing blue color with very clean foliage" in their notes when they came across it near Grants Pass. In the gardens here, it has been prone to some winter spotting but is so stunning in late summer that we give it a pass every year. We have our plant at the east end of an East/West berm so there might be less spotting in a site with more airflow.

'Blue Bear' has been a favorite due to its pale peachy-pink new growth with the blue backdrop of older foliage. This is especially dramatic in a young plant. See the last photo for its first summer foliage. 

Mature size: 4 ft T x 6 ft W at 7 years old

Minimum temperature: 0º F

Not recommended for hot and humid climates.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
