Hybrid of undetermined manzanita species, possibly including Arctostaphylos silvicola. "This is a spreading ground-cover manzanita with gray-green leaves. Ideal for coastal gardens especially thriving in the beach sand. It will also tolerate heavier soils. It is fast growing and will tolerate dry shade which is unusual for manzanitas. However, it does need pruning at least twice a year to keep it in check. Pacific Mist produces white flowers in late winter, followed by berries that are attractive to birds. You'll enjoy this planted over a retaining wall, or in a container.
Hybrid, A. Silvicola x ?; origin = volunteer seedling (19 ) in hybrid manzanita area; introduced by Rancho santa Ana Botanic Garden 1981."
Tolerates almost any soil type. Prefers sun in coastal sites, and sun or part shade in inland sites. Selected for use in the garden. Introduced by Rancho santa Ana Botanic Garden. Speculated to be an A. Silvicola hybrid.
