Arctostaphylos x coloradoensis ‘Panchito’ (Panchito Manzanita Bearberry)

The Panchito Manzanita Bearberry has the same hardy, western feel as the other manzanitas, but in a tighter, more compact package. It’s deer resistant, pollinator-friendly, and winter-interesting, while Utah sources note its usefulness for erosion control and low-water plantings. It is especially appealing along sunny edges or in a rock garden where you want a low evergreen anchor with a little spring bloom.
