Ceanothus - Julia Phelps
California Native Shrub with Brilliant Blue Blooms
Yes, THIS is the "California Lilac" variety that creates such a mind-bending solid and textural cloud of richest indigo-purple bloom in Spring. To 6-8' tall and wide and well, incredibly gorgeous, it's also fragrant in and out of bloom. Toss in some contrast enhancing orange or yellow California poppies nearby and oooh baby baby! Handsome, dense, glossy and crinkly deep evergreen foliage. Provides seed and shelter for the birds - including quail - and serves up nectar for the bees and butterflies. Unsurpassed for native, xeric and fire resistant landscaping where soil is infertile, drainage is fine (slopes especially) and Summer water is very low to non-existent. Hardy to 12-15 degrees F. Deer resistant.

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.
