Rare manzanita species endemic to Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County, California. Most manzanitas are known by their dramatic peeling mahogany bark, but this species differentiates itself by ribboning in shades of gray. Foliage in the blue-green range and white flowers with a pink blush in early spring. 

Prefers to grow in sand, but has done well in our Willamette Valley clay up on a berm. Full sun is normally not recommended for the California coastal manzanitas this far inland, but further North, they do just fine in a baking site. 

Mature size: 6-10 ft T x 8-10 ft W - based on California dimensions, unlikely to reach its maximums in Oregon.

Minimum temperature: 15º 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.
