Ceanothus hearstiorum
Brilliant blue blossoms for native landscapes
A beautiful and useful evergreen groundcover "California Lilac" for heavy clay! This California native is found along the San Luis Obispo County coastline where it grows happily in clay soil surviving on Winter rains and fog drip. Growing to less than 1' high and up to 8' wide, it sports delicately scented, small, shiny, evergreen leaves. Fragrant periwinkle blue flowers emerge in Spring attracting native bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and drought tolerant. Along the coast it thrives in full sun to part shade with little to no additional Summer water once established. Inland it benefits from part Shade and occasional Summer water. An excellent choice for under native oaks or pines. Does not like sandy soil.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
