Description

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Point Reyes' Bearberry Kinnikinnick is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover native to the coastal regions of California. Discovered near the Point Reyes lighthouse in Marin County, this cultivar is notable for its dense, spreading habit, forming mats of dark green, leathery leaves that often turn reddish-purple in winter. In early spring, it produces clusters of pale pink, urn-shaped flowers, followed by bright red berries that persist into the colder months, providing visual interest and food for wildlife. Its adaptability to sandy, well-drained soils and tolerance of drought conditions make it an excellent choice for erosion control and low-maintenance landscaping. While specific awards are not documented, its resilience and ornamental appeal have made it a favored selection among native plant enthusiasts and landscape designers.

Dense, mat-forming groundcover with dark green foliage that turns reddish in winter.
Produces pale pink, urn-shaped flowers in early spring, followed by bright red berries.
Highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in sandy, well-drained soils.
