1 gal Manzanita for a 5-gallon hole: What to add in hole?

We found a 1-gallon Manzanita 'Dr. Hurd' to replace the 5-gallon plant that died this summer. We need to add something to the hole left by the larger plant -- however, being this is a native plant I wouldn't add just any topsoil, correct? My husband suggested cactus mix to help drainage. The hole is on a slope. What would be the best type of supplement to re-fill the hole for this plant?

I know it would have been ideal to replace it with another 5-gallon plant, but we didn't find one and I found the 1-gal plant at a local native plant sale.
