Come Sunday, when the doors open to shop for manzanitas at the Hoffman Center’s Manzanita Plant Sale (11AM!) , a little knowledge will go a long, long way.
Tall & statuesque? Broad & muscular? Big, medium, or groundcover? Let size and shape be your guide.
We’ll be selling a fantastic assortment of manzanitas, THIRTEEN different kinds. Insane! You’ll want to be sure from the get you’ve got the right plant in the right place ’cause these kids don’t like to be moved around.
Got a shady garden? Don’t buy a manzanita. Got overhead irrigation? Ditto. Soil super rich with amendments? Nope. Not gotta thrive.
But if you’ve got at least 6 hrs of sun in fast-draining soil without irrigation or fertilizer, manzanitas are your kind of plants.
Tomorrow on the BBQ: Meet A Few Manzanitas!
