The Story
Yes, this is a Ceanothus, though looks a bit like a cotoneaster; a selection from a tiny-leaved, evergreen ground cover, carpeting shrub, slowly to 2ft tall spreading to 4ft wide, with stiff, curving branches smothered in spring with rich lavender-violet flowers. Accepting of garden conditions but tolerant of summer drought once established. Great for sunny, hard to reach areas in average to poor soils. Long lived and frost hardy USDA zone 8.
VALLEY VIOLET CEANOTHUS
Rhamnaceae
*THESE SIZES ONLY AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN OUR RETAIL NURSERY
