Arctostaphylos 'White Lanterns' is a small, compact manzanita that forms a rounded shrub. The literature indicates that it originated at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens. Flowers buds are set in the autumn and open in clusters of down-hanging bell-shaped flowers during the winter. These white flowers must have given rise to the shrub's name. The evergreen foliage measures up to an inch in length by about a half-inch in width. New leaves are blushed pink and somewhat glossy. Young stems are also rosy in color.
