Ceanothus x pallidus - Marie Simon

Wild Lilac

Airy pink blooms, graceful compact shrub

Such a gorgeous, useful and hardy shrub, and yet hardly known! An East/West Coast hybrid, 'Marie' is easygoing, COLD HARDY, tough and adaptable to both POOR CLAY-ISH SOIL as well as rich, loamy soil. Flowers repeatedly Summer thru Fall - if you remove spent blooms - with an amazing profusion of fluffy, scented, light pink 3" panicles on contrasting wine-red stems. With a nice, bushy habit, it's great in a mixed bed, dry bed or as filler in a rose garden. Can reach 5' x 5', but you can cut it back anytime for a shorter silhouette. Bees and butterflies! Deer resistant! Hardy to 5°F.

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.
