If you are looking for an Evergreen shrub that will provide your Colorado garden or landscape with beautiful greenery in all seasons, the Panchito Manzanita is a great plat to consider. This shrub is a low growing plant that can handle little watering and full sun. Many landscapes these days are being converted into Xeriscape in order to help conserve water and save homeowners on their water bill.
