Inside the Hoffman Center for the Arts
Yesterday, we profiled the horned poppy, which we’ll offer in two delicious colors. Here’s the link if you missed that post ‘cause you do not want to miss out on this plant:

Today we’ve got the inside line on a manzanita we’ve never been able to offer before, easily the most unusual manzi selection we grow: Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’.
People often mistake this slow-growing work of art is as a sedum. No lie. I mean, if you know your plants, you’ll know that confusing a manzi and a sedum is TOTALLY NUTS.
And yet, it’s an easy mistake to make! The foliage on this diminutive beauty looks absolutely succulent.
Its new growth is quite blue and its leaves are stacked in an upright manner that defies the rules of any manzi foliage you’ve ever seen. And after at least 5 years in the Wonder Garden (it lives near the big Hollywood Juniper along Laneda), it’s barely 18” tall. A rock garden specimen of a manzanita!
In full sun, mulched in gravel and no water after it’s established, Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’ is a heart throb. We’re smitten.
See you at the WG Plant Sale!
