Description

The hybrid Ceanothus makes a perfect ground cover, with a profuse flowering of shiny dark green leaves which are almost hidden by very dark blue, delicate flower clusters. It is a heat resistant cultivar and looks the best with one summer pruning. Be cautious about providing plant with excess water.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
