Description

This Ceanothus is a fast-growing shrub or small tree 12' high and wide. The springtime flowers are a stunning deep blue in large 6" clusters. This selection can be pruned into a lovely small tree or allowed to develop into a broad shrub for a fast screen. Provide well drained soil. Tends toward legginess - prune after flowering for a denser plant.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
