Arctostaphylos hookeri 'Ken Taylor', Manzanita

'Ken Taylor' grows into a fairly dense evergreen structure. In the Willamette Valley, Ken can do full sun but is amenable to some shade throughout the day, contrary to what one might think for a manzanita. On the coast, full sun all day is excellent, having originally been a coastal resident of the Monterey Bay area. Do not let its coastal origins frighten you, this plant takes hot sun and no supplemental water after its first year or two.  Mature size: 1.5- 2 ft T x 6 ft W Minimum temperature: 0° F
