One of the first 'modern' Ceanothus cultivars and still one of the best. Medium blue (and quite fragrant) flowers, in larger clusters, on an evergreen shrub up to 5 ft tall x 8 ft wide, smaller in colder climates. Handsome large glossy leaves. Somewhat tolerant of heavy soils. Full to part sun and very little summer water. Cold hardy to at least USDA zone 8 and possibly into zone 7.

This handsome 2' tall x 8' wide mounding groundcover is covered with medium blue flowers March-May; a Western native (hybrid, perhaps, between C.papillosus ; C.thyrsiflorus), it's drought tolerant; remove upright stems. Sun/Med-D/GdDrain
