Hairy Manzanita

We planted some Hairy Manzanita today. We have a dry bank area that has not been a good location for boxwood that we had planted, too much sun and needs too much watering. In thinking about something native that might work in that location, Hairy Manzanita came to mind. It’s a shrub that we enjoy seeing when hiking, and it seems to do well with lots of sun in rocking areas. It turned out to be hard to find any one who stocked this plant, but finally found them at Wallace Hansens’s Northwest Native Pants in Salem.
