Several varieties of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi are popular groundcovers and ‘Massachusetts’ is no exception, for good reason. The small leaves give the overall appearance a fine texture and it hugs the ground so well it cascades over vertical surfaces, creating a waterfall like shape. ‘Massachusetts’ is not a very quick grower but it is sturdy, disease resistant, and a profuse bloomer. All it needs are sandy soil with a low ph, and full sun. ‘Massachusetts’ is more capable of handling cold winters than some other varieties of A. uva-ursi. Once established, this Arctostaphylos thrives with just a little water in temperate climes, and very much prefers not to be fertilized.
