Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A small ceanothus cultivar, introduced by Suncrest Nursery, this mounding, evergreen shrub might reach 2-3' in time with the tiniest of glossy green leaves and brilliant blue flowers in spring. Can take a bit of summer water and a slightly heavy soil, but well-drained is best in full sun to part shade. Hardy to bottom of USDA zone 8, perhaps upper zone 7.
