This A. manzanita was found as a lucky seedling following one of the California fires. We planted over 5 clones from cuttings throughout our dry garden and were gobsmacked at their rate of growth. They were the fastest-growing manzanitas we had ever planted. We trial manzanitas directly in our native soils in a flat meadow and up on 1-2 ft berms. 'Rocket Man' has exceeded expectations in both conditions. It's a typical A. manzanita with large oval green leaves, and the pink blooms in late winter to early spring have only added to its charm. Clean winter foliage. 

Planted in November 2022, it had grown to 4 x 4 by July 2024. The last photo shows early winter color on a young plant.

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.
