A lovely small and extremely rare Arctostaphylos from the west end of San Louis Valley above Morro Bay.  Oso manzanita has dense bright green leaves with a distinctive matte finish.  The auriculate leaves are ear-shaped and attached directly to the branch, emerging with a reddish bronze color along the margin.  Young plants grow with a rounded form then mature to an open structure with sculptural twisting branches of smooth mahogany aging to grey.  Charming small clusters of pinkish-white flowers emerge in late winter to the delight of hummingbirds and bees.

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.
