Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Point Reyes' – Point Reyes bearberry

Point Reyes Bearberry – California Native

Selected from the dramatic coastal bluffs of Point Reyes National Seashore, this bearberry selection is one of the most widely planted groundcover manzanitas in California — and with good reason. It is vigorous, fast-spreading, and exceptionally tolerant of salt spray, wind, and coastal fog, making it the go-to groundcover for coastal bluff restoration and erosion control from the Bay Area to Oregon. White to pale pink flowers in early spring are followed by bright red berries. The Point Reyes selection is notably more tolerant of California's mild coastal conditions than other bearberry selections.
