Buy Howard McMinn Manzanita online. Howard McMinn Manzanita is a highly regarded evergreen shrub known for its beauty, reliability, and versatility in the landscape. Distinguished by its vigorous growth and exceptional disease resistance, this selection quickly becomes a long-lived, low-maintenance feature in any garden. Its dense, glossy foliage provides year-round structure while complementing a wide range of planting designs.
In late winter, when little else is in bloom, Howard McMinn Manzanita offers a vital burst of color and nectar. Clusters of soft pink, bell-shaped flowers appear later than most manzanitas, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators just when they need it most. The contrast between the blossoms and the plant's rich green leaves adds seasonal charm to the garden while supporting local wildlife.
Gardeners can enhance its sculptural appeal by pruning lower branches to reveal the smooth, mahogany-red bark beneath. This creates a striking focal point that pairs beautifully with drought-tolerant landscapes and modern or naturalistic designs alike. Named in honor of Howard McMinn, a respected botany professor and author, this manzanita carries both horticultural heritage and timeless ornamental value.
