Discover the beauty and resilience of Arctostaphylos nevadensis, commonly known as Pinemat Manzanita. This remarkable evergreen shrub is a native of western North America's rugged landscapes, spanning from Washington to California. Ideal for high-elevation gardens with cold winters, this low-growing, prostrate shrub forms lush, cushion-like mats up to 1 ft tall and can spread 3 ft wide, providing excellent ground cover. Its bright green, mucronate leaves are a striking feature, beautifully contrasted by clusters of charming, urn-shaped flowers in shades of white or pink. The fruit is a unique, reddish-brown, spherical drupe, offering a delightful visual contrast. Perfect for sunny to lightly shaded areas, Pinemat Manzanita is more than just ornamental; it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil against erosion, particularly on mountain slopes. While not easily established at low elevations, it thrives in the chaparral landscapes and rocky terrains of its native range. Hardy to USDA Zone 6, it sometimes hybridizes with neighboring species, adding diversity to its natural habitat.
