Description
This unusual manzanita hybrid was introduced by Rancho Santa Ana in Claremont, CA. It grows as a leafy green sphere to about six feet. The leaves have permanently serrated margins, a trait normally only seen in immature leaves among manzanita species. Also peculiar, ‘Green Witch’ never flowers. Plant this unique manzanita in well draining soil and naturalize (i.e. provide no supplemental irrigation) after the first year.
