Arctostaphylos edmundsii 'Carmel Sur', Little Sur Manzanita wind-tolerant (It's very important not toIntroduced by Saratoga Horticultural Foundation. Dense attractive gray green foliage with a spreading habit under a foot tall x 6 feet wide. May be one of the fastest growing varieties of this species. Pale pink flowers appear in winter but are few and infrequent. Makes a great alternative to other groundcover manzanitas. More drought and heat tolerant than the bearberries and 'Emerald Carpet'. Likes full sun but may enjoy a little afternoon shade in
